Burden Songtext
von Double Negative

You set me down just as the end of day
With a good look in your eyes
The words hurt me as they hung through my mouth
Felt like thunder through my spine
I never planned to leave you like this
I didn′t think it would go wrong
Just hold me one last time
Give me one last kiss goodbye

Funny words of a lonely man in a lonely world
Caked in our room with no one there
To tell him that the sun still shines outside
The memory of a comforting but
A voice I've gotta know
A face fading to the dark


I wrote to you a note on her birthday
To let you know that I thought you were doing well
It may sound just like a part of truth
But what I couldn′t do was how I would for you
I just hope you sometimes think of me fondly
And know that in a different life
For you I would have been a better man

Funny words of a lonely man in a lonely world
Caked in our room with no one there
To tell him that the sun still shines outside
The memory of a comforting but
A voice I've gotta know
A face fading to the dark

I remember the way I was after dawn
You were my angel but I held back your wings
I guess what I am trying to say is I'm sorry
Just promise that you will be happy
That′s all I wanted

Funny words of a lonely man in a lonely world
Caked in our room with no one there
To tell him that the sun still shines outside
The memory of a comforting but
A voice I′ve gotta know
A face fading to the dark
