Share the Burden

The world bears down, heavy on your shoulders.

It feels like you're carrying a million boulders.

You don't have to hold all that alone

Just dial my number, I'll pick up the phone.

You don't want to burden me when I've got my own weight

But I'll continue to tell you there's room on my plate.

Asking for help doesn't make you weak.

Just open your mouth and let the words speak.

I know that you're tired and it's getting hard

But you don't have to be scared (just/to) let down your guard.

Those bottles you have glued to your lips

Will only, ever, be a temporary fix.

I wanna be the person you trust with your soul

No matter how cracked, shattered, or dull.

I want to help vanquish the demons you dream

You don't have to hide your silent screams.

Forget what they've said, forget what they've done

Their words may be bullets, but you have the gun.

Quit shooting yourself, just let it go

Reach out for me when you forget how to glow.

You shine so bright, but only when you smile

So lend me your worries I can carry them awhile.
