Piled up like rocks
Strapped across my back
Strength and endurance
Of body and mind I seem to lack
Can't seem to climb this mountain
And I can't seem to do what's right
And all I can think about
I'd give up my life
Just to make yours okay
And I don't even mind
If you have to throw me away
I need a clean slate
And I can't reach that high
And I know if something doesn't change
It will kill me inside
These words like knives
Cutting into my skin
The past I leave behind
Drowning me again
You've learned to love
Such a relentless beast
And I'm begging and pleading
To give me some peace
Just leave me alone
I swear you'll be fine
You deserve so much better
Someone so loving and kind
Just please don't hate me
I feel guilty enough!
I know I've made your life
Get a little rough
Maybe someday
If I fight til the end
The rocks will collapse
And I'll have no way to defend
