Burden Songtext
von Citizen Soldier

I think you say sorry too much
I think you got issues with trust
From the voices in your head that say
That you′re too hard to love
I think you still live with the ghosts
Of people you needed the most
That let you down and taught you how
To keep your closet door closed

But I've been there, and I would rather die (would rather die)
Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry

You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you′re not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me
(You are not a burden to me)


I think that you never get heard
By thinking someone's got it worse
Been minimized so many times
That you believe it′s deserved
I think you′ve been silent since youth
'Cause every time you speak your truth
You′re stigmatized, re-traumatized
By all the things you didn't choose

I don′t mind your darker side, you can lose control (can lose control)
I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral

You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you′re not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me

The monsters that you're holding back
There′s no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth gave depth to you
Now there′s so much more to love


You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won′t leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
Don't ever be ashamed of your needs
You are not a burden to me
You are not a burden
You are not a burden

(You can talk, you can talk to me)
(You can talk, you can talk to me) you are not burden to me
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
You are not a burden, burden, burden, burden

The monsters that you′re holding back
There's no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth gave depth to you
Now there′s so much more to love
