[Verse 1]

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 the ground

And he took me to the river

Where he slowly let me drown

[Pre-Chorus]

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

[Chorus]

I'm so heavy

Heavy, heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy

Heavy, heavy in your arms

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

[Chorus]

I'm so heavy

Heavy, heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

Heavy, so heavy in your arms

[Bridge]

This will be my last confession

"I love you" never felt like any blessing

Oh

Whispering like it's a secret

Uttered to condemn the one who hears it

With a heavy heart

Whoa

[Chorus]

(Heavy) Heavy, heavy

(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy

(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy

(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy

(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms

[Post-Chorus]

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 held me in his arms

My feet never touched the ground

[Outro]

I'm so heavy

Heavy in your arms

Heavy

I'm so heavy in your arms
