I never meant to be a burden Oh I just worry more than I'd like to I never meant to be a burden Please forgive me if I've weighed on you For so long I have lived amongst the shadows Waiting for the sun to break on through Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores And find some place where I can start anew I never meant to be a burden Oh I just worry more than I'd like to I never meant to be a burden Please forgive me if I've weighed on you Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back It's so heavy already without me Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this So you can walk ahead more easily I never meant to be a burden But you're the light that is guiding me through I never meant to be a burden Please forgive me if I've weighed on you Please forgive me if I've weighed on you Please forgive me if I've weighed on you Burden - Amos Lee
