slowed gives this song a whole new vibe I swear

Burden is a song I wrote to express my own experience with depression. While it's never been major (as the lyrics say, "I still make it in to work"), it does have a way of tainting every experience I have; it sucks away my motivation, pulls me out of relationships, and convinces me that who I am at my lowest is who I really am. This song exists to remind me that the person I'm describing in the lyrics, while being a part of my story, is not representative of who I know I can be.
lyrics
Come back to me 
I've fallen yet again 
And I'm scared and I'll pretend 
To be better than I am 

So I need you here to tell me 
That I'm lying and I'm wrong 
That I don't need to feel strong 
That I know this won't last long 

But in the meantime have I eaten 
Have I showered yet today? 
You don't need to fix the problem 
But just promise me you'll stay 

But I don't want to 
Be a burden to you 
So if you don't want to 
You don't have to 

And I feel guilty when I speak of 
my own modest brand of hurt 
I've seen friends who've gone through worse 
I still make it in to work 

It's just really not my season 
This stuff comes and then it goes 
I just need someone who knows 
I just need somebody close 

But I don't want to 
Be a burden to you 
So if you don't want to 
You don't have to 

And I hear you when you tell me 
That you know this isn't me 
It's just harder to believe 
When I'm hurting and I'm weak 

But if I push the world away 
I hope that you're the one who's left 
It's with you I feel my best 
It's with you I find my rest 

But I don't want to 
Be a burden to you 
So if you don't want to 
You don't have to

This song is dedicated to David Hulings. I'm sorry buddy.

Lyrics:

superman will never save you
spiderman will never catch you
the flash will never run to you
like I would, When I was with you

you know you’ve reaped what you have sown
you know you’re the reason you’re alone
you said I was your superhero
but sometimes superheroes cannot save everyone

iron man will never heal you
the Hulk will never hold you
another man will never love you
like I did, Like I still do

you know you’ve reaped what you have sown
you know you’re the reason you’re alone
you said I was your superhero
but sometimes superheroes cannot save everyone

i had to let go
and watch you fall
and I could’ve saved you
but you didn’t want me to

so I let you go
and I watched you fall
and I could’ve saved you
but you didn’t want me to

so I let you go
and I watched you fall
and I could’ve saved you
but you didn’t want me to

you know you’ve reaped what you have sown
you know you’re the reason you’re alone
you said I was your superhero
but sometimes superheroes cannot save everyone

• Lyrics

VERSE
Could have been my happy ever after
Living like we’re in a fairy tale
But you and me were more like a disaster
I should have known
Intoxicated by your reputation
I can see the mischief in your eyes
Trusted you despite my reservations
Now I’m alone

PRE
I was so rich
With all this love
You wanted it
And I was so dumb
I let you in
When I should have run
Now all that’s left
Is something numb

CHORUS
I gave you all I had to lose
My skin, my soul, my finest jewels
You stole it all for someone new and then
You gave away the best of me
My sins, my sweetest ecstasy
To someone worth much less than me
Yeah you’re my Robin Hood

VERSE
Everybody says that you’re so great, yeah
Walk around like you deserve that gold
But what would happen if they knew the place that
You got it from
I guess that I was just another victim
Someone that you thought that you could play
I had a feeling and I should have listened
Now there’s no us

PRE
I was so rich
With all this love
You wanted it
And I was so dumb
I let you in
When I should have run
Now all that’s left
Is something numb

CHORUS
I gave you all I had to lose
My skin, my soul, my finest jewels
You stole it all for someone new and then
You gave away the best of me
My sins, my sweetest ecstasy
To someone worth much less than me
Yeah you’re my Robin Hood

BRIDGE
So alone
So alone
So alone
So alone

CHORUS
I gave you all I had to lose
My skin, my soul, my finest jewels
You stole it all for someone new And then
You gave away the best of me
My sins, my sweetest ecstasy
To someone worth much less than me
Yeah you’re my Robin Hood
