I was a heavy heart to carry,
My beloved was weighed down,
My arms around his neck,
My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry,
My feet dragged across 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'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,
So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession
I love you, never felt like any blessing
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

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 to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down,
When he had me in his arms,
My feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms
