Burden to Bear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've lived a life of sacrifice What I want doesn't matter If no one makes it out alive We approach the Heart Knowing this could go too far Everyone depends upon me This war will never end without me You squeeze my hand I know you wouldn't understand So I haven't told you the risk That I don't think I'll live through this But you're catching on The realization dawns You see I mean this to be goodbye But you grab my face and meet my eyes [Chorus] You say that it's not fair I've already given so much This should be someone else's burden to bear You say that you're not scared You'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear [Verse 2] I've lived a life of sacrifice I've never dwelled on what I'd want If I made it out alive That's not my place I wish that I could stay But it's not for me to decide This has to be goodbye You squeeze my hand These words could be my last I tell you I'm ready, I'm not afraid But you think it shouldn't be this way [Chorus] You say that it's not fair I've already given so much This should be someone else's burden to bear You say that you're not scared You'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear [Bridge] I want you to live, I want to stay I want to walk hand in hand with you I want to forgive mistakes that we've made I want to walk out of here with you I want to live, I want to feel That it's okay for me to want I want to believe I'm worth what I need I want to give you all my love I want you to live, I want to stay I want to walk hand in hand with you I want to forgive mistakes that we've made I want to walk out of here with you I want to live, I want to feel That it's okay for me to want I want to believe I'm worth what I need I want to give you all my love [Alternate Chorus] I know that it's not fair I've already given so much This shouldn't be my burden to bear You pull my hand and I'm still there I'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear [Outro] Burden to bear Burden to bear This shouldn't be my burden to bear Burden to bear Burden to bear This shouldn't be my burden to bear
