Jennifer Hudson - Burden Down Lyrics






I'm a river, I keep running on
I'm a pillar you got used to leaning on
Underneath it, there's a person
I'm a woman and I'm hurting
Cause I feel like I'm holding up the world

When I lay this burden down
Who's gonna take it up for me
When you run me in the ground
That's the day you're gonna see
For all I've done I'm alone
Just for a moment can I not be strong
So how 'bout now oh can I lay
This burden down

I deliver each and every time
I'm a giver, I don't think about what's mine
You keep me asking, you keep taking
And that's no reciprocation
I shouldn't have to do this by myself

When I lay this burden down
Who's gonna take it up for me
When you run me in the ground
That's the day you're gonna see
For all I've done I'm alone
Just for a moment can I not be strong
So how 'bout now oh can I lay
This burden down

I'm a river, I keep running on
I'm a pillar, you're used to leaning on
Just this once, oh just this once

When I lay this burden down
Who's gonna take it up for me
When you run me in the ground
That's the day you're gonna see
For all I've done I'm alone
Just for a moment can I not be strong
So how 'bout now oh can I lay
This burden down

    I'm a river, I keep running on
    I'm a pillar you got used to leaning on
    Underneath it, there's a person
    I'm a woman and I'm hurting
    'Cause I feel like I'm holding up the world
    When I lay this burden down
    Who's gonna take it up for me
    When you run me in the ground
    That's the day you're gonna see
    For all I've done I'm alone
    Just for a moment can I not be strong
    So how 'bout now oh can I lay
    This burden down
    I deliver each and every time
    I'm a giver, I don't think about what's mine
    You keep asking, you keep taking
    And there's no reciprocation
    I shouldn't have to do this by myself
    When I lay this burden down

    For all I've done I'm alone
    Just for a moment could I not be strong
    How 'bout now, can I lay
    This burden down
    I'm a river, I keep running on
    I'm a pillar, you're used to leaning on
    Just this once, oh just this once
    Can I lay this burden down
    Can you take it up for me
    When you run
    When you run me in the ground
    That's the day you're gonna see
    Now all I've done I'm alone
    Just for a moment could I not be strong
    Wish I knew how, oh, to lay
    This burden down
