[Verse]
I don't know what to say
You've left me with a bad taste in my mouth
And though I've tried to wash it out
It's buried itself deep in the ground

[Refrain]
And I'm not afraid
Of words that aren't spoken
Do you find a way
Of all that is broken

I'm a beast of burden which you've tamed
I'm a dog in autumn with the wind
Tired of being skinned only
Well all my phrase is hard on you [?]
Or have my pages come unglued

[Chorus]
You don't have to carry this heavy load
You don't have to carry this heavy load
Ooh, I know that you can take it

You don't have to carry this heavy load
You don't have to carry this heavy load
Ooh

[Bridge]
It's a cold breeze
That steals you from your family
But the truth is sinkin' in
On a long trip
That left me hungry
I met a soul who looks like me

[Chorus]
So I chew him out with great patience
So I chew him out with great spirit

[Outro]
Yeah, the boldest lines are those which never bleed
And the boldest hearts'll be there when you need
