This medicine tastes a lot like poison
I should have known it by the label black and white
This bitter taste of consolation
is all I'm gonna get tonight
I'm holding on to what I'm hoping for
but it seems like it's already gone
And I pray to see the upside of something
but why's it gotta take so long
Take away these burdens, my old friend
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
Well, this chip on my shoulder's fallin'
and it's resting by the heart that's on my sleeve
They can't chip away at your indifference
so I guess I'd better leave
Yes, I'll admit it's not the brightest
I should have known not to say what's on my mind
And I'd hate to say that I'd lost a friend
Just to say that I tried
Take away these burdens, my old friend
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
Well this medicine tastes a lot like poison
I should have known it by the label black and white
This bitter taste of consolation
is all I'm gonna get tonight
Take away these burdens, my old friend
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
I'll lay down my burdens till I pick 'em up again
