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
