"Heavy Heart" lyrics

You shouldn't have to pay for sleep
Or tell yourself to smile
Why you wanna measure the pain
Casting blame on the flames while we're starting the fire
I don't want to run from you
It's makeshift by design

Heavy is the heart that holds you
Down with all its weight
Drowns you in the silence of
The things you couldn't say
Staring down a road
Don't know where you are
And I can't get close enough
To hold your heavy heart

I shouldn't have to wander the street
Tell myself to try
Change is the thing that you tell me I need
Well I ain't gonna leave, I'm gonna put up a fight
Some things I gotta say to you
Before you decide

Heavy is the heart that holds you
Down with all its weight
Drowns you in the silence of
The things you couldn't say
Staring down a road
Don't know where you are
And I can't get close enough
To hold your heavy heart

Heavy is the heart that holds you
Down with all its weight
Drowns you in the silence of
The things you couldn't say
Staring down a road
Don't know where you are
Just let me get close to you
And hold your heavy heart
