Burden to Bear

[Verse]
There's a reason to be happy, baby
There's a reason to be sad
Oh, there's a reason to throw it away
I find it so hard to relate these days to anything
Oh, or anyone at all
Everything that matters, everything that ever will
On a distant shoreline way across the western hills
Oh, I can't seem to get there you know
It seems my life's been put on hold, it's put on hold
Oh, the time keeps slipping away

[Chorus]
They say you can fool yourself but not very long
I think I've been fooling myself my whole life long
Taken evеrything that mattered
I watched it lеave without a care
Don't you know, don't you know
That's the hardest burden to bear

[Verse]
Look in the mirror I see the lines on my face
Look in my eyes I can feel all the pain
Of everything I've been ashamed of in the past
There's enough regret there to last
And I can't deny what I understand
If you live your life like a one night stand
You wind up alone and lost
Oh, and afraid, with nothing to say
I guess it doesn't matter anyway

[Chorus]
They say you can fool yourself but not very long
I think I've been fooling myself my whole life long
Taken everything that mattered
I watched it leave without a care
Don't you know, don't you know
That's the hardest burden to bear
Yeah, that's the hardest burden to bear
That's the hardest burden to bear, baby
That's the hardest burden to bear
