Heart's Too Heavy Songtext
von John Moreland

Well, these angels in my eardrums, they can′t tell bad from good

I lived inside these melodies just to make sure I still could
And I cried all night even though I'm wrong
Said, "Honey, hold me close, make it feel like home"
′Cause your love's bright enough to burn all night
Sometimes love is a losing fight

You try to keep going, but the ride won't steady
You try to get high but your heart′s too heavy
You′ve got one thing on your mind


But now there's snake eyes on the sidewalk and fireworks overhead
Won′t you roll out that red carpet when we all wind up dead
And your smoke rings fade like a memory
You're honest as a ghost, maybe twice as free
You′ve got faith enough to lift this curse
What if faith is just a false god's verse

You try to keep going, but the ride won′t steady
You try to get high but your heart's too heavy
You've got one thing on your mind

And I′m pulling up devils from the long dark past
And the pain starts piling up too fast
I can pin down the minute that I lost my buzz
Thought I was somebody nobody could love

Try to keep going, but the ride won′t steady
You try to get high but your heart's too heavy
You′ve got one thing on your mind
