She [G]carries her

[Verse 1]
[Am]burden, [G]like a b[F]urning flame
and it's [Am]hurting[G]
'cause its [F]never tamed.
Not like her,

She let it down [Am]once
[G]She let it down twi[F]ce
She let it all [Am]go[G]
But [F]everyone knows
that's just [G]ribbons and bows

[Verse 3]
She takes her [Am]burden [G]from
where [Dm]she takes her strength
no [F]contra[Am]diction [G]from
with[Dm]in herself.
Out[F]side she's [Am]smiling,
[G]she don't belie[Dm]ve
the lies [F]that she's [Am]spinning
[G]she don't kno[Dm]w it's a sin

[Verse 4]
To let it down [Am]once
[G]She let it down twi[F]ce
She let it all [Am]go[G]
But [F]everyone knows

[C]So take your

[Verse 6]
[Am]burden,
[G]and [Dm]let it down slow

[F]and run[Am] free[G], 'till those feel[Dm]ings pass.

And let it down [Am]once
[G]And let it down twi[F]ce
And let it all [Am]go
