Heavy Heart
The Red Clay Strays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walking with a heavy heart and it just brings me down

I try to smile or even cry but I just can't get it out

And I'm thinking with my cluttered mind but I'm not seeing straight

I'm blinded by emotion that don't show on my face

And this heavy heart is breaking me like you would never know

There's more to me than what you see and this heavy heart don't show


And I have been thinking about how we are both to blame

Regardless of the rights or wrongs we both will share the shame


And this heavy heart is breaking me like you would never know

There's more to me than what you see and this heavy heart don't show

And this heavy heart don't show

And this heavy heart don't show





And this heavy heart don't show

Your grandson has excellent musical taste for a boy his age, or for a person of any age for that matter.

I'm working my way through the playlist.. I'm trying to figure out what's dragging me in so quickly. Lyrically it's so raw, it's going beyond the surface emotions, which I love.
