Burden

Sometimes it feels
like the world is on my shoulders
With every step,
I feel it weighing down on me
I close my eyes
to try and make it disappear
The troubles of my mind
haunt my every vision

When the sunlight burns away,
nighttime falls and kills another day
Memories echo from the past
Broken hearts and dreams that never last
Longing for someone that's gone
Wipe away the tears and carry on
Feel the emptiness inside
Just turn away and leave the past behind

Behind these eyes
lies the truth to your question
Life has no hope
when you're burdened with obsession

When the sunlight burns away,
nighttime falls and kills another day
Memories echo from the past
Broken hearts and dreams that never last
Longing for someone that's gone
Wipe away the tears and carry on
Feel the emptiness inside
Just turn away and leave the past behind

I think of you, and it only seems to worsen
Each passing moment,
this pain becomes my burden
