Unburden Me

When did I become a mule for your baggage?

I became a buffer in your fucked-up marriage.

I was a child when you treated me like a therapist,

Like my mind was a storage space for your emotions.

/

I'm giving it all back...

With no return address.

These feelings were never mine...

And I owe you no forgiveness.

/

Unburden me,

I refuse to be at fault for your sins.

Unburden me,

So I can feel like my life is mine again.

Unburden me,

Or I'll have to leave you behind.

Unburden me,

Or I won't be back next time.

/

When was I supposed to grow up

When you didn't even grow up yourself?

You're a narcissistic manchild

Who gets offended by me living for myself!

I have to empty my soul

Of all the poison you poured in me.

I'm not sure I can ever trust you again

Because it's clear you don't want me to be the woman I could be.

/

Unburden me,

I refuse to be at fault for your sins.

Unburden me,

So I can feel like my life is mine again.

Unburden me,

Or I'll have to leave you behind.

Unburden me,

Or I won't be back next time.
