[Verse 1]

I heard songs romanticise her blood shot eyes and getting high

They drift off on fitted sheets

He'll kiss her over colgate teeth

How can I love myself

When I'm so draining to everyone else?

And I've been told

I'm heavy to hold

[Chorus]

They say they won't run away

"Fix You" is only pretty when it's sung by Coldplay

They'll kiss me

Manic dream pixie

Don't wanna love me 'cause it feels too risky

And I understand

It's all I've been told

I'm heavy to hold

[Verse 2]

I hear cars pull up outside

Ring doorbells but they're never mine

Sitcoms on VHS

Laugh tracks echo the friends that left

How can I brave this storm

When I just burn them trying to keep warm?

It's all I've been told

I'm heavy to hold

[Chorus]

They say they won't run away

"Fix You" is only pretty when it's sung by Coldplay

They'll kiss me

Manic dream pixie

Don't wanna love me 'cause it feels too risky

And I understand

It's all I've been told

I'm heavy to hold

[Bridge]

Lay me down

I'm getting tired

I'll be around

If you decide

I'm hard to love

There's no denying

If you've had enough

Thanks for trying

[Chorus]

They say they won't run way (They won't run away)

"Fix You" is only pretty when it's sung by Coldplay

They'll kiss me manic dream pixie (They don't wanna, they don’t wanna love me)

Don't wanna love me 'cause it feels too risky

And I understand

It's all I've been told (I've been told)

I'm heavy to hold (Heavy to hold)

Too heavy to hold

I'm heavy
