These things that weigh you down, don't let them get the best of you, because we all have burdens to bear
In the beginning it was only he would drink, until she told him she was going to leave
Yet she forgave him every time, refused to judge him for his crime
Just run away form those that hold you down The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept You can't expect to move on until you take the first step
Time only made things worse The violence more commonly occurred
Long sleeves in 100 degrees Glasses hide the eyes she doesn't want to be seen
Like brush strokes up her wrist, scars paint the tale of when she tried to leave it all behind
She had no more to give Every night spent with him was another night she might not survive
She had to go She realized he wasn't worth the bruises and black eyes
She packed her bags and took her keys from the drawer, as he walked through the front door
Just run away form those that hold you down The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept You can't expect to move on until you take the first step
He saw her bags were packed when he came home He rushed at her She ran for the phone
He lost his mind She feared for her life He reached for her arm and she reached for a knife
Just run away form those that hold you down The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept You can't expect to move on until you take the first step
We all have burdens to bear
