Burden to Bear

I've lived a life of sacrifice

What I want doesn't matter

If no one makes it out alive

We approach the Heart

Knowing this could go too far

Everyone depends upon me

This war will never end without me

You squeeze my hand

I know you wouldn't understand

So I haven't told you the risk

That I don't think I'll live through this

But you're catching on

The realization dawns

You see I mean this to be goodbye

But you grab my face and meet my eyes

You say that it's not fair

I've already given so much

This should be someone else's burden to bear

You say that you're not scared

You'll stay no matter what

This shouldn't be my burden to bear

I've lived a life of sacrifice

I've never dwelled on what I'd want

If I made it out alive

That's not my place

I wish that I could stay

But it's not for me to decide

This has to be goodbye

You squeeze my hand

These words could be my last

I tell you I'm ready, I'm not afraid

But you think it shouldn't be this way

You say that it's not fair

I've already given so much

This should be someone else's burden to bear

You say that you're not scared

You'll stay no matter what

This shouldn't be my burden to bear

I want you to live, I want to stay

I want to walk hand in hand with you

I want to forgive mistakes that we've made

I want to walk out of here with you

I want to live, I want to feel

That it's okay for me to want

I want to believe I'm worth what I need

I want to give you all my love

I want you to live, I want to stay

I want to walk hand in hand with you

I want to forgive mistakes that we've made

I want to walk out of here with you

I want to live, I want to feel

That it's okay for me to want

I want to believe I'm worth what I need

I want to give you all my love

I know that it's not fair

I've already given so much

This shouldn't be my burden to bear

You pull my hand and I'm still there

I'll stay no matter what

This shouldn't be my burden to bear

Burden to bear

Burden to bear

This shouldn't be my burden to bear

Burden to bear

Burden to bear

This shouldn't be my burden to bear
