Verse 1 I know it’s hard for you to understand Since we’ve been together for so long We’ve been through so much together All the good times and the wrong And I look at all the things we’ve done All the sweet success we’ve had But there’s somethin’ I’ve gotta tell you I’ve been so confused and sad Chorus Unburden me, sweetheart I never see you anymore You’re home for a little while Then you’re runnin’ out the door A little birdie’s inside my mind Tellin’ me you don’t love me now So unburden me, sweetheart Are you honoring our wedding vows? Verse 2 It seems you don’t want to be here In this country home we built And I know you’re workin’ every day You don’t need to feel any guilt About doing whatever you can So we can survive and thrive But can we bring back the spark That will keep the romance alive? Chorus Unburden me, sweetheart I never see you anymore You’re home for a little while Then you’re runnin’ out the door A little birdie’s inside my mind Tellin’ me you don’t love me now So, unburden me, sweetheart Are you honoring our wedding vows? Bridge I get calls from my friends They ask if everything’s all right And I break down then I tell them You’re not there to hold me tight You’re always gone on business Or you’re gone with the guys I’m saying if you need to say it I won’t take it as a bad surprise Verse 3 I’m waiting for you to come home From wherever you went tonight I’m wearing’ your favorite flannel Feelin’ something just ain’t right I don’t want this all to fall to pieces But I’ve prepared for when it might There’s only one who can tell me Who can bring the truth to light Chorus Unburden me, sweetheart I never see you anymore You’re home for a little while Then you’re runnin’ out the door A little birdie’s inside my mind Tellin’ me you don’t love me now So, unburden me, sweetheart Are you honoring our wedding vows? Are you honoring our wedding vows? Lyric Written by Matthew Kenneth Gray 2020, then Revised March 19, 2021.
