Burden

Come back to me
 I've fallen yet again
 And I'm scared and I'll pretend
 To be better than I am
 So I need you here to tell me
 That I'm lying and I'm wrong
 That I don't need to feel strong
 That I know this won't last long
 But in the meantime, have I eaten?
 Have I showered yet today?
 You don't need to fix the problem
 But just promise me you'll stay
 But I don't want to
 Be a burden to you
 So if you don't want to
 You don't have to
 And I feel guilty when I speak of
 My own modest brand of hurt
 I've seen friends who've gone through worse
 I still make it in to work
 It's just really not my season
 This stuff comes and then it goes
 I just need someone who knows
 I just need somebody close
 But I don't want to
 Be a burden to you
 So if you don't want to
 You don't have to
 And I hear you when you tell me
 That you know this isn't me
 It's just harder to believe
 When I'm hurting and I'm weak
 But if I push the world away
 I hope that you're the one who's left
 It's with you I feel my best
 It's with you I find my rest
 But I don't want to
 Be a burden to you
 So if you don't want to
 You don't have to
