burden down

Lyrics

i'm a river, i keep running on, i'm a pillar you got used to leaning on, underneath it, there's a person, i'm a woman and i'm hurting, cause i feel like i'm holding up the world, when i lay this burden down, who's gonna take it up for me, when you run me in the ground, that's the day you're gonna see, for all i've done i'm alone, just for a moment can i not be strong, so how 'bout now oh can i lay, this burden down, i deliver each and every time, i'm a giver, i don't think about what's mine, you keep me asking, you keep taking, and that's no reciprocation, i shouldn't have to do this by myself, when i lay this burden down, who's gonna take it up for me, when you run me in the ground, that's the day you're gonna see, for all i've done i'm alone, just for a moment can i not be strong, so how 'bout now oh can i lay, this burden down, i'm a river, i keep running on, i'm a pillar, you're used to leaning on, just this once, oh just this once, when i lay this burden down, who's gonna take it up for me, when you run me in the ground, that's the day you're gonna see, for all i've done i'm alone, just for a moment can i not be strong, so how 'bout now oh can i lay, this burden down
