Heavily
Lisa May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It reminded me, reminded me
Every touch kills me when
I've tried too hard too hard to save you
But it hold me back
Your love is mine
Keeps me alive
But what comes around goes around again
My my my my heartbeat Don't give it away
My my my my heartbeat Don't give it away
Heavily, Heavily I felt you in my chest
It reminded me, reminded me
You and I would never Last.
I'll follow into the dark
Into your madness
Sunrise till love is gone
My my my my heartbeat Don't give it away
My my my my heartbeat Don't give it away
I'll follow into the dark
Into your madness
Sunrise till love is gone
Heavily, Heavily I felt you in my chest
It reminded me, reminded me
You and I would never Last.
I've tried I've tried I've tried I've tried to hold you
But it hold me back
Your love is mine
But what comes around
Goes around Goes around again.
