Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Burdens Lyrics

Something's got me down again
I feel the walls closin' in
If you could only read my mind
Tell me what would you find?

Show me where it all began
Could you help me understand?
And the toll it's takin'
Everyday I'm achin'

Livin' 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, oh 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
'Cause when you're heart's been broken
All you're hope's been stolen

Livin' 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

'Cause when you're heart's been broken
All you're hope's been stolen

Livin' 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
