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
