Heavy Heart
Handsome & Gretyl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how is it I’m wanting when I have it easy compared
Is anybody weary
Missing the one that you love
How come you never let on
Maybe to keep them from wondering
Is your heart heavy
Is your heart heavy
Throw them into the sky
The hunger and the hurting
Heaven will keep what it likes
When you look up at the stars now
Do you dream what could be
Don’t it make you wanna reach out
Only to find that you can’t quite reach
Is your heart heavy
Is your heart heavy
Can I carry you
Carry you all the way home
Got a feeling what you’re wanting is to know you are loved
You are loved you are loved
When your heart’s heavy
When your heart’s heavy
Is your heart heavy
Is your heart heavy
Lifting your hands up to the sky when your heart’s heavy
