Florence and the Machine - Heavy In Your Arms lyrics

rate me

I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

My feet dragged across the ground

And he took me to the river

Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait

All this killing time?

Are you strong enough to stand?

Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?

Who's the killer in the crowd?

The one who creeps in corridors

And doesn't make a sound

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession

I love you never felt like any blessing

Whispering like it's a secret

Only to condemn the one who hears it

With a heavy heart

Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms

Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms

Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms

Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

But he never let me down

When he had me in his arms

My feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms

Heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms
