Lay This Burden Down

I know I'm heading in the wrong direction
'Cause I'm weak from the lack of affection
I've been afraid to accuse you, my darling
'Cause I didn't wanna lose you, my baby, ooh

I've gotta get away so I won't hear you say
The things that make me weaker
And fall deeper
I made up my mind

I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down

This guilt from my heart, I've got to shake it
Can't hang around no longer, boy, I've got to make it
I've been knowing about your other love a long time
Giving you a chance to make up your mind, ooh

I've gotta get away so I won't hear you say
The things that make me weaker
And fall deeper
I made up my mind

I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down

I can't hang around here, no, too much longer
Because my heart, yeah, yeah, ain't a-getting no stronger

I've gotta get away so I won't hear you say
The things that make me weaker
And fall deeper
I made up my mind

I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down
I've got to lay, yeah, yeah
This burden down

I know I'm heading in the wrong direction
