GranDilusionist - Booze and the Burden Lyrics

Whiskey in my hand, but it don't ease the pain
The nights are long, and the days feel the same
Got a love that keeps leavin', no place to go
Burden too heavy, and it don't wanna slow

Booze and the burden, they're pullin' me down
A man's got his limits, but I'm past what's allowed
Too much to handle, for the love I crave
Ain't no room for a heart that misbehaves

She said she loved me, but couldn't stay
Said, "You're a good man, but I can't live this way"
I got the blues, Lord, and it's burnin' hot
Can't change who I am or what I've got

Booze and the burden, they're pullin' me down
A man's got his limits, but I'm past what's allowed
Too much to handle, for the love I crave
Ain't no room for a heart that misbehaves

Whiskey and women, they come and they go
But my burden stays, with a heavy, slow roll
I keep drinkin' to numb it, but it don't let loose
I'm shackled to sorrow, there's no more excuse

My bottle's my lover, my burden my curse
Tried holdin' on, but it only gets worse
So I wander these streets, with the blues in my soul
Too big to love, too broken to hold

Booze and the burden, they're pullin' me down
A man's got his limits, but I'm past what's allowed
Too much to handle, for the love I crave
Ain't no room for a heart that misbehaves
