Burden - Another Perfect Storm

I wish that I could replace

The look I saw on your face

I don’t want to believe I can lose you

Are you even aware

That it just isn’t fair

What more do you need me to do?

Try

I can try

But you hide the things that I need to convince you

What if I should do

The thing you want me to?

What will be left of this for you to bury?

Why can’t you believe

That I will never leave?

That’s a burden you don’t have to carry

I don’t need to compare

With things that just aren’t there

Will you ever believe I won’t hurt you

I wish that you would let go

of what you cannot control

How many ways must I tell you?

Try

I can try

But you hide everything so deep inside you

So what if I should do

The thing you want me to?

What will be left of this for you to bury?

I know you can’t believe

That I will never leave

that’s a burden you will always carry

There’s something you should know

just before you leave

that’s a burden you will always carry
