[Verse 1]
I wake up with the weight on me
Same fight, same face, same ache on me
Phone lights up, then the day comes in
One more thing, then another thing
Can't catch a breath, it's a flood again
Too many hands on my neck, too thin
I keep saying "I'm fine," but I'm not
I been cracking in spots I forgot
[Pre-Chorus]
And I run, but it follows me
Every room got a part of me
Every call, every knock, every sound
Got me feeling like I drag you down
[Chorus]
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
[Verse 2]
People say, "just breathe," like it's that easy
When my chest stays tight and my head gets needy
Bills on the table, panic in my jaw
Every little problem turns into a war
I miss a text, then I miss three more
Then I hate myself for what I can't ignore
I see the look when I walk in late
Like I bring the storm every time I wait
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try, but it slips away
Every win gets drowned by the mess I make
If I leave, would it calm the room?
Would you smile if I stepped out soon?
[Chorus]
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
[Bridge]
I don't need a crown
I just need some peace
I don't need a rescue
I need room to breathe
If I fold in half
Would you still stay near?
I been scared of myself
For a whole damn year
[Final Chorus]
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
I'm a burden, I'm a burden
I keep hurting, keep hurting
It keeps coming, keeps coming
I can't stop it, can't stop it
