Laying My Burdens Down lyrics

Well I used to walk stooped from the weight of my tears

I just started laying my burdens down

I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin' 'em down I just started laying my burdens down

Oh lay I'm layin' em down I just started laying my burdens down

The flesh ain't nothing but the bark on a tree I just started laying my burdens down

I've been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun can shine

I've turned away from everone and everything that wanted to be mine

Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to everything that I could share
Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there

And every path I've taken I have turned around and quickly closed the door

The sense to see and I saw you walk away the sense to feel and I feel lonely everyday

The sense to hear for I heard you say goodbye
The sense to taste now I can taste the tears that I cry

My senses tell me all that I need to know

It's over but I don't have the sense to let you go

It doesn't make much sense for me to cry for you

And if I had any sense at all I'd realize we're through

I don't feel anything what was I worried for

I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before

Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything

How I must have loved you once upon a time

And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind

Why was I so afraid of seeing you again

Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything

I'm sorry but you come to the wrong house but I know who those flowers are for
The flowers that you have are for someone who's happy and happiness lives next door

Someone sends her flowers each evening and her young heart is flooded with joy

So don't keep her waiting deliver her flowers to happiness who lives next door

The only one who would send flowers to you is gone to return no more

She always follows me from town to town at least her mem'ries follow me around

Whenever I clear my mind so she can see I feel her love come rushing into me
I know that I will never be the law looks as though her memory's bound to haunt

And I know my love will always stay in bounds

With her memory always follow me around

Follow me around follow me around follow me around follow me around
