Lay down your burden she said
You've got nothing to hide here
Or to be ashamed about
Tell us your story
You'll soon realize we've all bled
I heard a man who mourns the death of his wife
A girl said her boyfriend, beats her most every night
Over and over the stories they flow through my head
I still can recall all the times
They made me feel safe when I arrived
Why did I survive so many trials
I can't even think
I still can recall all the words
They used to explain how much they hurt
How can I survive so many trials
I don't even think
I don't even think that I feel alive
A woman tried to hide how many scars her wrist displayed
A boy told me he thought about jumping off a bridge for days
These people all around here, they felt the same as me
A common understanding for the pain we want to leave
Lay down your burden she said
Lay down your burden she said
Just lay down you burden she said
Just lay down you burden
Just lay it down, just lay it down
Lay down your burden
Lay down your burden
Lay down your burden she said
Just lay down your burden
Just lay it down, lay it down
