Burden

(album: Lanterns - 2023)

I thought about moving to Portland
Learn to exist outside your orbit
I won't pretend you weren't important
It was my loss, I watched you forfeit

I still go watering the garden
You pulled the roots I poured my heart in
You cut me out like I was poison
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?

Dug up the ground I used to worship
There's nothing left out here that's sacred
The truth came back up to the surface
When did my love become your burden?

Let go of all my expectations
Vacate the space I once felt safe in
I guess some wounds are left wide open
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
When did my love become your burden?
(Burden, burden, burden)
