[Verse 1]
I’d shrink myself to make you feel taller
And I would complain so your problems felt smaller
You’d say I was too much, I was too loud
So I would say sorry and keep my voice down
I’d shrink myself to make you feel taller

[Chorus]
Burden on my shoulders
All of the words that you put on me like a weight
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
But since you’ve been gone, I stand up straight

[Verse 2]
People keep tellin’ me I look different
Most days, I feel like I grew a few inches
But I still catch myself questionin’ me
There’s still parts of you that I still try to please
Just phantom pains of your opinion

[Chorus]
Burden on my shoulders

All of the words that you put on me like a weight
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
But since you’ve been gone, I stand up straight, mm
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m taller now
Ooh-ooh, ooh, head in the clouds
Ooh-ooh, I’m not comin’ down, no

[Chorus]
Burden on my shoulders
All of the words that you put on me like a weight
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
But since you’ve been gone, I stand up straight, mm

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m taller now)
Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh, head in the clouds)
Since you’ve been gone, since you’ve been gone
(Ooh-ooh, I’m not comin’ down, no)

[Outro]
Since you’ve been gone, I stand up straight
