Burden of Love

hey it's me

it's me again

I'm walking the beast

to calm it, if I can

another day

another slave

an uninvited guest

with a ticket to the dance

I should have called

but I am the painting on your wall

I'm the buzzer to your door

the carpet on your floor

my hands are tied

these feelings are so cheap

my voice is long gone

but my intentions will never sleep

I don't want to be in love

well it's you I'm thinking of

oh not again

you will fail to understand

this burden of love

I should have killed it

should have killed it when had the chance

I should have silenced this curse

this burst of romance

I should have finished this crime

this waste of time

with a sword in my hand

I'm a knight without a plan

and I don't want to be in love

well it's you I'm thinking of

oh not again

you will fail to understand

this burden of love

apologies my dear, I'm a fool

I'm out of control, I'm on love parole

a prisoner of the soul, a devil's pact

I overreact, I counterattack these emotional facts

I'll lock myself, I'll build a cabin

for self defense and not to bother you

 

I'm so tired of this burden of love

this desire, oh this burden of love

I'm wasted on this bourbon of love

this fire, oh this burden of love
