I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced a crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

My feet dragged across the ground

And he took me to the river

Where he slowly let me drown



My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall



I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms



And is it worth the wait,

All this killing time?

Are you strong enough to stand,

Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer

Who's the killer in the crowd?

The one who creeps in corridors

And doesn't make a sound



My love has concrete feet, my love is an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet, my love is an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall



I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy. Heavy. So heavy in your arms



This will be my last confession

"I love you" never felt like any blessing

Whisper it like it's a secret

Uttered to condemn the one who hears it

With a heavy heart



Heavy. Heavy. Heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms



I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced a crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

But he never let me down

When he held me in his arms

My feet never touched the ground



I'm so heavy

Heavy in your arms



Heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms.
