Burden of the Selfless

(Verse 1) I'm the hand that's always there, To lift you up from your despair. But when I need a helping hand, No one's there to understand. (Pre-Chorus) I sacrifice, I bleed for you, But when I falter, where are you? (Chorus) Burden of the selfless, I carry the weight, Always giving, but it's never too late. When I say no, you make me feel small, Yet you wonder why I stand alone, against it all. (Verse 2) I'm the shelter from the storm, But who's there when I'm forlorn? I put myself last, always at your call, But when I need, you let me fall. (Pre-Chorus) I give my all, I give my best, But when I need you, you fail the test. (Chorus) Burden of the selfless, I carry the weight, Always giving, but it's never too late. When I say no, you make me feel small, Yet you wonder why I stand alone, against it all. (Verse 3) I'm the one you turn to, in times of strife, But when I need support, you vanish from my life. I've become a martyr, in my own right, But where's the gratitude, in the dead of night? (Pre-Chorus) I give my heart, I give my soul, But when I need you, you take your toll. (Chorus) Burden of the selfless, I carry the weight, Always giving, but it's never too late. When I say no, you make me feel small, Yet you wonder why I stand alone, against it all. (Outro) I'll walk this path, with or without your hand, In this world where selfishness reigns like sand. I'll bear this burden, until my last breath, For in my selflessness, I find my strength.
