"Heart Is Heavy" lyrics

I know that you're complicated
And I know you do what you do just to survive
But it took a long time to understand
Why you wouldn't open your heart
And I still don't really know why

Then I was struck by you as you vanished like a lightning rod
Well you came to light my world then let it go dark
But I know there's a slow train coming
Are we just idles, and echoes
Of humans just dancing in the dust

I know your heart is heavy
And I know you're thirsting
For freedom
All through the day
And when your thoughts are thumping
And you wonder when you'll find peace
When all you see in this world is disease

Oh you shrink from my world and it keeps us apart
Well we all have chains and tethers that dull our hearts
There's no shame to conform, no guilt to belong to
Just do what you're doing I'll see you again someday

I know your heart is heavy
And I know you're searching
For freedom
All through the night
And when your thoughts are thumping
And you wonder when you'll find peace
When all you see in this world is disease

But you can't let it go
Oh
Can't let go
You can't let it go
