  • 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

    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

    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
    Oh
    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'm so) Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms
    (I'm so) Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms
    (I'm so) 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.

    Heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms. Writer/s: FLORENCE LEONTINE MARY WELCH, PAUL EPWORTH
