[Verse 1]
I won't be somebody else
But I know that you want me to
I don't need nobody's help
Never felt so close to you

[Chorus]
Be my burden, be my burden
Be my burden, be my burden
When it's all dried up
And your love is spent
When I tried to stop before you went
My heart is broken, was that my token?
But love is certain, oh be my burden

[Verse 2]
And through the plumes of smoke
You let the water soak in
And I'll ask you what you've done
Collect the settled dust
My vision won't adjust when I was not the only one

[Chorus][x2]
Be my burden, be my burden
Be my burden, be my burden
When it's all dried up
And your love is spent
When I tried to stop before you went
My heart is broken, was that my token?
But love is certain, oh be my burden
