Citizen Soldier Burden
[Verse 1]
I think you say sorry too much, I think you got issues with trust
From the voices in your head that say that you're too hard to love
I think you still live with the ghost of people you needed the most
That let you down and taught you how to keep your closet door closed
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've been there and I would rather die (would rather die)
Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry
[Chorus]
You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me
[Post-Chorus]
You arе not a burden to me
[Verse 2]
I think that you nevеr get heard
By thinking someone's got it worse
Been minimized so many times
That you believe it's deserved
I think you've been silent since youth
'Cause every time you speak your truth
You're stigmatized, retraumatized
By all the things you didn't choose
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mind your darker side, you can lose control (can lose control)
I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral
[Chorus]
You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me
[Bridge]
The monsters that you're holding back
There's no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth gave depth to you
Now there's so much more to love
[Chorus]
You can talk, you can talk to me
I can tell that you're not okay
You can spill your guts, I won't leave
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
Even down in your darkest place
Don't ever be ashamed of your needs
You are not a burden to me
[Post-Chorus]
You are not a burden, you are not a burden
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
You are not burden to me
(You can talk, you can talk to me)
You are not a burden, burden
Burden, burden
[Outro]
The monsters that you're holding back
There's no need to dress them up
Your ugly truth gave depth to you
Now there's so much more to love
