A Man's Burden

Sunrise on my shoulders
Coffee gone cold in my hand
Bills on the table
Ring mark where her glass once ran
I talk to my reflection
He just stares right through
Every line on my forehead
Got your name carved in it too
This is a man's burden
Carry what he can't explain
Laugh out in the daylight
Cry quiet in the rain
This is a man's burden
Smile hard
Even when it burns
Give all of his heart away
And get too little in return
Boss says
"Keep it moving"
Clock says I'm already late
Mama wants a phone call
I keep saying"next week
Just wait"
Friends talk about their freedom
I'm counting what I stand to lose
Ain't no map for this middle road
Just worn-out work boots and bad news
This is a man's burden
Carry what he can't explain
Laugh out in the daylight
Cry quiet in the rain
This is a man's burden
Smile hard
Even when it burns
Give all of his heart away
And get too little in return
I ain't asking for a medal (oh no)
I ain't begging to be saved
Just need somebody sometime
To see the weight I take to my grave
This is a man's burden
Carry what he can't explain
Laugh out in the daylight
Cry quiet in the rain
This is a man's burden
Stand tall
Even when it hurts
If loving you is my cross to bear
I'll keep dragging it through this dirt
