I Become
Burden Of The Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been down I've been
Out I've been broken
What you did to me cut me wide open
You try to fix me by keeping the sickness
It's over and done with I'm
Not gonna live like this

Can't you tell by my eyes I'm in pain
Every time it just ends up the same
I bend over backwards I've broken
My back for you
Everything crumbled and now I'm just done

Don't wanna see your face
Just gonna walk away
How can you leave me so broken
How can you leave me so numb
This isn't what I was hoping
So let us die and step aside
And watch what I become

I've been rich I've been broken addicted
Nothing matches the pain you've inflicted
Watching me die must have gave you a high
That you just can't describe
Now I'm unrecognizable

Talking about this is too hard to mention
You fucked me up way beyond comprehension
I bend over backwards I've broken
My back for you
Everything crumbled and now I'm just done

Don't wanna see your face
Just gonna walk away

How can you leave me so broken
How can you leave me so numb
This isn't what I was hoping
So let us die and step aside
And watch what I become

I'm broken, so broken
You cut my soul wide open
I'm screaming I'm still bleeding
Cut but my hearts still beating
I'm standing I'm still standing
Did this without your hand
I'm better for what I've become
How can you leave me so broken
How can you leave me so numb
This isn't what I was hoping




So let us die and step aside
And watch what I become
