A burden no one should bear

I walk these empty streets alone,
With shadows as my only friends,
Hiding from the truth I’ve known,
That love’s a game I can’t pretend.

They say that we all need a place to call our own,
But my heart’s a storm that’s left untamed,
I built these walls so high, I’m all alone,
No soul should suffer through this pain.

I won’t let myself love you,
I won’t let my shadows creep,
No one deserves this heavy heart,
No one deserves to weep.
So I’ll keep this love inside,
Locked away where it won’t break,
It’s a burden no one should bear,
And I’ll carry it for my own sake.

I see the light that others find,
And wonder if it’s real or just a lie,
But I’ve been living in the dark,
No one should pay for my scars.

They say that we all need a place to call our own,
But my heart’s a storm that’s left untamed,
I built these walls so high, I’m all alone,
No soul should suffer through this pain.

I won’t let myself love you,
I won’t let my shadows creep,
No one deserves this heavy heart,
No one deserves to weep.
So I’ll keep this love inside,
Locked away where it won’t break,
It’s a burden no one should bear,
And I’ll carry it for my own sake.

Maybe someday I’ll find the peace,
To let this burden finally release,
But until then, I’ll walk this road alone,
With my heart turned into stone.

I won’t let myself love you,
I won’t let my shadows creep,
No one deserves this heavy heart,
No one deserves to weep.
So I’ll keep this love inside,
Locked away where it won’t break,
It’s a burden no one should bear,
And I’ll carry it for my own sake.

In the silence of the night, I’ll stay,
Guarding what’s too dark to display,
I’ll keep this love inside, away from light,
It’s a burden that’s too heavy to fight.
