The Burden

by megan   Apr 10, 2006


You say im holding you back
but why?
spread ur wings and fly
you\'ve already said goodbye
you hear me cry
watch me die
so why?
why cant you be happy?

ive already killed myself
ive pulled the trigger
my emotions are dead
is it all in my head?
no this is all real
this pain that i feel
my heart cannot heal
with this pain i cannot deal
its too real

inside i am dying
you see my crying
im sick of ur lying
why wont you stop denying
about what you had
where you\'ve been
where and when
why pretend?

is this a game
you like to play
day after day
to make me go away?
for these answers i will pray
night and day
please make it go away

i am depressed
i must confess
but this is different from the rest
is this a test?
to put me to my best?
what if i fail?
if i have to bail?
im walking on the rail
so frail
i dont want to fall
i give it my all
but keep running into walls
for you i bawl
away i crawl
you stall
dont let me fall

im getting over you
this is true
because you told me to
even though im blue
im getting over you
so i want you to know
im letting you go
im forgetting you so

dont let me hold you back
even though the courage to move on has been something i lack
dont let me hold you back
spread ur wings and fly
you\'ve already said goodbye
you hear me cry
watch me die
so why?
why cant you be happy
now that you have left me
this is what you wanted it to be
so be happy
please be happy
