Burdens Lyrics - The Place You're In - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Something's got me down again 

I feel the walls closing in 

If you could only read my mind 

Tell me what would you find? 

Show me where it all began 

Now could you help me understand? 

And the toll it's taking, everyday I'm aching 

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself 

Why can't these problems belong to someone else? 

I need an angel to protect me from myself 

And take these burdens off my mind, ooh yeah 

I wish I knew the words to say 

To make it all go away 

Even when it's plain to see 

It's hard to believe 

'Cuz when your heart's been broken 

All you're hope's been stolen 

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself 

Why can't these problems belong to someone else? 

I need an angel to protect me from myself 

And take these burdens off my mind 

I'm running on faith, I really don't know 

If it's too late or which way to go 

It's a matter of time, will I ever know 

Oh, before I lose control? Yeah 

'Cuz when your heart's been broken 

All you're hope's been stolen 

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself 

Why can't these problems belong to someone else? 

I need an angel to protect me from myself 

And take these burdens off my mind, yeah, off my mind, oh, oh
