Burden

Come back to me

I've fallen yet again

And I'm scared and I'll pretend

To be better than I am

So I need you here to tell me

That I'm lying and I'm wrong

That I don't need to feel strong

That I know this won't last long

But in the meantime, have I eaten?

Have I showered yet today?

You don't need to fix the problem

But just promise me you'll stay

But I don't want to

Be a burden to you

So if you don't want to

You don't have to

And I feel guilty when I speak of

My own modest brand of hurt

I've seen friends who've gone through worse

I still make it in to work

It's just really not my season

This stuff comes and then it goes

I just need someone who knows

I just need somebody close

But I don't want to

Be a burden to you

So if you don't want to

You don't have to

And I hear you when you tell me

That you know this isn't me

It's just harder to believe

When I'm hurting and I'm weak

But if I push the world away

I hope that you're the one who's left

It's with you I feel my best

It's with you I find my rest

But I don't want to

Be a burden to you

So if you don't want to

You don't have to
