Burden Lyrics by American Classic

2020

You sat alone, an empty room, a fury in your heart was starting to loom
I came to you. I came to see the broken bottle you intended for me
And now there’s no-one to love
You’re trying to find someone to blame
Surrounded by the guilt and the shame
Afraid my mistakes will be the same
I carry the burden of your name
Now all i smell are cheap cigarettes and the taste of the (bottom shelf?)
Go through the motions of throwing you the rope
Hoping you’ll take my hand, i just want you to stand again
Be the man
You once were a father, now you’re good as dead
And every bottle that i see, you’re staring back at me
You’re trying to find someone to blame
Surrounded by the guilt and the shame
Afraid my mistakes will be the same
I carry the burden of your name
Falling further into nothing, nowhere
And every bottle that i see, you’re staring back at me
You’re trying to find someone to blame
Surrounded by the guilt and the shame
Afraid my mistakes will be the same
I carry the burden of your name
