Bare The Weight

"Bare The Weight"
2011

The song of running water
Is so soothing of a sound
Yet it's come to symbolize
Each tear that hit the ground
When that look upon your face
Was frozen into place
By mistakes I may have made
That left this aftertaste
Darling, it's not fair for you
To bare the weight for me
So I think it may be best
If you got away from me
To save you the despair
And save you all the pain
That you would probably feel
If you returned to me again
'Cause the sound of burning pictures
Is like music to a moth
And baby, we are not the same
For we come from different cloth
But to me that doesn't mean
That I can't love your brand
But the things inside my head
Are things you'll never understand
So it's not fair to you
To bare the weight for me
And I think it may be best
If you got away from me
To save you the despair
And save you all the pain
That you would probably feel
If you returned to me again
I've seen you pulling out your hair
And shedding tears alone
But the part of me that's here
Is yours to love and own
But the part of me that's lost
For years has gone unfound
And I've paid a tremendous cost
Because you're not around
But baby, I don't blame you
In truth, I'd do the same
'Cause the one you love don't love himself
So how can you win this game
When it's not fair to you
To bare the weight for me
And I think it may be best
If you got away from me
To save you the despair
And save you all the pain
That you would probably feel
If you returned to me again
Oh, that maybe a poor choice of words
But I'm just honest after all
And I know you'll still be there
To try and catch me if I fall
But I'm raining broken pieces
And don't want to slice your skin
So darling you will have to move
And let me kiss the ground again
'Cause I'd rather die than hurt you
Though it seems I truly have
But I ask of you to hate me not
'Cause your love is all I ever had
And despite all I'll never be
I thank you for all you've shared
Because in the end you've proved
That at least one person truly cared
But it's still not fair to you
To bare the weight for me
So I think it may be best
If you got away from me
To save you the despair
And save you all the pain
That you would probably feel
If you returned to me again
Oh, I hate to see you go
But it's best for you to leave
And I thought you'd like to know
This is what I do believe
So fly away, my angel true
I wish only the best for you
Throw away bad memories
And keep the rest for you...
