[Verse 1] I woke up late With a weight on my ribs Same old frame But it bent a little bit Cold tap water On a face gone pale You said my name I could hear it fail [Pre-Chorus] I keep it locked in my jaw I keep it under the floor But every step that I take Sounds like a hammer at the door [Chorus] It’s heavy, heavy Carry me, carry me It’s heavy, heavy You’re the only one who sees It’s heavy, heavy Stay right here with me It’s heavy, heavy Till the load lets go of me [Verse 2] Paper on the table Bills in a crooked stack Boots by the door And a bend in my back I try to laugh it off Try to play it cool But the dark comes close When I’m alone in the room [Pre-Chorus] I keep it locked in my jaw I keep it under the floor But every step that I take Sounds like a hammer at the door [Chorus] It’s heavy, heavy Carry me, carry me It’s heavy, heavy You’re the only one who sees It’s heavy, heavy Stay right here with me It’s heavy, heavy Till the load lets go of me [Bridge] If I go quiet Don’t call it gone I’m just knee-deep In a storm that won’t move on Put your hand here Let it steady my fall I can be small I can be small [Final Chorus] It’s heavy, heavy Carry me, carry me It’s heavy, heavy You’re the only one who sees It’s heavy, heavy Stay right here with me It’s heavy, heavy Till the load lets go of me It’s heavy, heavy Carry me, carry me It’s heavy, heavy Till the load lets go of me
