Blessed with a burden

You all say I'm blessed
If only you really knew
If only you could see things
From my pain-filled point of view

Yes I have friends
But they didn't come without a fight
What are friends
If they don't treat you right

Yes I have women
Why do you think my eyes got colder
Why do you think I have
This enormous chip on my shoulder

Why are my hands so rough
Guns do that to your skin
I feel like suddenly
Breathing has become a sin

Every day of my life
Feels like the Battle Of Verdun
Yea I'm blessed
Blessed with this burden
