Love is not meant for those who can't carry a burden, it's to heavy for that.
The fear, anxiety, nightmares, dreams, wishes, hatred, hopes, pain
It's to heavy for someone who can't carry a burden.
I'm used to burdens, though, you see
I can carry all the anxiety and the wishes and pain
I can carry it so long as you don't hurt me like you said you wouldn't
One simple problem, you can't carry that burden
You dropped the burden, and pick it up, and drop it, like it's unimportant and something to play with
You can drop it and pick it up as much as you want, but it's fallen over the edge, my love, and
you can't get it back.
You hurt me, just like you said you wouldn't.
love, pain, burden, hurt, can't get it back,
