Chris Karell - Burden Lyrics

I see signs of slowing down, feels like summertime is over
Bitter taste upon my tongue as I get sober and I get numb
Whats the point of holding on
If we hate what we've become?
And your touch donʼt feel as warm anymore

Donʼt you take my hand, I told ya
As I turned around to walk out
And it pains my chest cuz I hate this mess
But thereʼs more ahead to conquer

Cuz itʼs never been a secret, never been a secret
We wonʼt make it out the deep end, make it out the deep end
And I never wanna be there, never wanna be there
If Iʼm meant to be a burden, I canʼt be a burden

Shh, donʼt you cry out loud
Makin' everybody in this Starbucks wonder why
You said you loved me still, I couldn't stomach it, I hid behind my cup
While you stuck, hoping I would say something along the lines
Of...hmm
I cant do that now
Pouring water on a flower that is past her prime
As I wonder why we couldn't stand the test of time
I guess, Im way too much to handle when Im in this state of mind,
I swear I, uh
Want the best for ya
It turns out I couldnʼt be the best to ya
Never been good with commitments
My amends wont make a difference
Either way, I know for certain thats the finish line
Black tears make their way down your face now
This tea in my hand taste like gin shots
And its you outta the people in my circle thatʼs aware of just how
Many times I claim to really hate that

Donʼt you take my hand, I told ya
As I turned around to walk out
And it pains my chest cuz I hate this mess
But thereʼs more ahead to conquer

But itʼs never been a secret, never been a secret
We wonʼt make it out the deep end, make it out the deep end
And I never wanna be there, never wanna be there
If Iʼm meant to be a burden, I canʼt be a burden

And itʼs never been a secret, never been a secret
We wonʼt make it out the deep end, make it out the deep end
And I never wanna be there, never wanna be there
If Iʼm meant to be a burden, I canʼt be a burden
