Burden Lyrics

My dear, you're the prettiest thing
It's not my choice and it ain't yours
Don't wanna tell you the news
You know my history...

My dear, you know this is about you
It's not my fault and it ain't yours
Don't wanna tell you why
You're gonna think it's a lie

You know all the tricks I can pull
You know I'm a practiced charlatan
You know how it always ends
You're gonna think it's a lie
You know I can be stolen away
You know how shallow I can be
You know how manic I can get
You're gonna think it's a lie

My dear, you know I care
It's not your burden, it's mine
Don't wanna explain it all
So I guess I'm gonna fall...

You know all the tricks I can pull
You know I'm a practiced charlatan
You know how it always ends
You're gonna think it's a lie
You know I can be stolen away
You know how shallow I can be
You know how manic I can get
You're gonna think it's a lie
