Heavy lyrics

I fought a battle, I fought a war.

I felt the rain on my face.

Sometimes to find what you're looking for

you've gotta learn from your worst mistakes.

I made a wish on a satellite

that I mistook for a star.

Guess when you build up to break down

you find out who you really are.

How did it all get so heavy?

I used to stand up so tall.

There's only so much I can carry

before I fall.

And they tell me, "Girl, you're so lucky",

"You've got the world in your hands".

But you know, the world gets so heavy

you don't understand.

And that's heavy.

Just tell me what's the intention.

Is it to fall in love?

I tried to find a connection

between how it is and how it was.

I made a promise I couldn't keep

another story to tell.

You swear to God that you know me

but I don't, don't even know myself.

How did it all get so heavy?

I used to stand up so tall.

There's only so much I can carry

before I fall.

And they tell me, "Girl, you're so lucky",

"You've got the world in your hands".

But you know, the world gets so heavy

you don't understand.

And that's heavy.

Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night,

I close my eyes and all I see is the dreams I used to dream about when I was younger.

I wonder where I took the path of no return.

I might've lost my way a hundred times but no, I never ever lost the hunger.

Oh, and I know every cut and every stitch and every scar.

I know they've gotten me this far, they only made me tough, they made me stronger.

But when it's hard to breathe and I just can't get off the floor

I long for days when I was free, a life I lived so long before,

It all got so heavy

I used to stand up so tall.

There's only so much I can carry

before I fall.

And they tell me, "Girl, you're so lucky",

"You've got the world in your hands".

But you know, the world gets so heavy

you don't understand!

And that's heavy... heavy.
