Heavy
Alessandra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say you're fine, say you're fine
What's on your mind, on your mind
You're a little too quiet in the passenger seat
And another sad song's playing on repeat

Fake as mile, fake as mile
Just one more mile, one more mile
You're afraid to open up thinking you look weak
But since you won't talk, I'll go ahead and speak

And I know it doesn't help but I'll stay
Hiding the pain won't save you from breaking
I don't want you to think you're up by yourself

When life gets too heavy
I'll take the weight if you let me
Baby, it's okay to lose control
'Cause life can get messy
Sometimes a little unsteady
You don't have to do it on your own

Turn away, turn away Tryna
Place a blame, place a blame
On another failed exam or a sleepless night
But I can always tell when you tell a lie
And I know it doesn't help but I'll stay
Hiding the pain won't save you from breaking
I don't want you to think you're up by yourself

When life gets too heavy I'll take the weight if you let me
Baby, it's okay to lose control
'Cause life can get messy
Sometimes a little unsteady
You don't have to do it on your own (You don't have to do it on your own Baby, no You don't have to do it on your own)
Filling up for one until it's way to toss it It's way to toss it
Cranking you this time up early
We know that's it We know that's it Trying to come it up but
I'll never leave you sad I'll never leave you sad

Don't you know that
Life gets too heavy I'll take the weight if you let me
Baby it's okay to lose control




'Cause life can get messy Sometimes a little unsteady
You don't have to do it on your own

Line by Line Meaning

Say you're fine, say you're fine
Pretend everything is okay, even when it's not


What's on your mind, on your mind
What are you really thinking about?


You're a little too quiet in the passenger seat
You're holding back your feelings


And another sad song's playing on repeat
You're stuck in a cycle of sadness


Fake as mile, fake as mile
Putting on a false front


Just one more mile, one more mile
Just a little longer


You're afraid to open up thinking you look weak
You're scared to show vulnerability


But since you won't talk, I'll go ahead and speak
I'll speak up since you're holding back


And I know it doesn't help but I'll stay
Even if it doesn't make a difference, I'll be here for you


Hiding the pain won't save you from breaking
Pretending you're okay won't prevent a breakdown


I don't want you to think you're up by yourself
I want you to know you're not alone


When life gets too heavy I'll take the weight if you let me
I'll support you when things get overwhelming


Baby, it's okay to lose control
It's okay to not have it all together


Sometimes a little unsteady
Feeling unsure at times


You don't have to do it on your own
You don't have to face it alone


Trying to come it up but
Putting on a brave face but


You don't have to do it on your own
You don't have to face it alone

Lyrics:
Say you're fine, say you're fine what's
On your mind, on your mind
You're little too quiet
in the passenger seat
And another sad song's playing on repeat

Fake a smile, Fake a smile
Just one more mile, one more mile
You're afraid to open up
thinking you'll look weak
But since you won't talk
I'll go ahead and speak

And I know it doesn't help
but I'll say it
Hiding the pain won't
save you from breaking
I don't want you to think you're
All by yourself

When life gets too heavy
I'll take the weight if you let me
Babe its okay to lose control
Cuz life can get messy, sometimes a little unsteady
you don't have to do it
On your own

Turn away, turn away
Tryna place the blame, place the blame
On another failed exam or a sleepless night
But I can always tell when you tell a lie

And I know it doesn't help
but I'll say it
Hiding the pain won't
save you from breaking
I don't want you to think you're
All by yourself

When life gets too heavy
I'll take the weight if you let me
Babe its okay to lose control
Cuz life can get messy, sometimes a little unsteady
you don't have to do it
On your own

Babe, no, you don't have
to do it on your own

Building up a wall until
its way too tall to climb
Thinking you'll be stronger
but we both know that's a lie
Try to cut me off but I'll
never leave your side
Don't you know that

When life gets too heavy
I'll take the weight if you let me
Babe its okay to lose control
Cuz life can get messy, sometimes a little unsteady
you don't have to do it
On your own
