Jennifer Hudson - Burden Down lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
