Love Feels Heavy - Aliza
I didn't know
I fell over something light
Like a spark in summer nights
But with you it felt like rain
Soaking deep into my veins
Every word you didn't say
Stayed with me for days and days
And every silence felt like proof
I was giving more to you
I kept carrying us both
Like it didn't hurt my soul
Love feels heavy
When you hold it all alone
When you're giving everything
But you're still on your own
And I tried to be love
Tried to stay steady
But loving you
Just felt too heavy
Love feels heavy
When it's not the same
When you're calling out
But they don't say your name
And I kept holding on
Even when it broke me
Cuz loving you
Felt like gravity
I learned your moves like weather signs
Tried to read between your lines
I became the softer one
Just to keep us from coming undone
You'd say you care but not out loud
And I'd just mock keep you around
But love shouldn't feel like weight
You're too tired to escape
I kept carrying us both
Till I couldn't hold the rope
But love feels heavy
When you hold it all alone
When I'm giving everything
But you're still on your own
And I tried to be love
Tried to stay steady
But loving you
Just felt too heavy
Love feels heavy
When it's not the same
When you're calling out
But they don't say your name
And I kept holding on
Even when it broke me
Cuz loving you
Felt like gravity
Maybe less on my mind to hurt
Maybe I just picked the words
And the heart to give mine to
One that never followed through
And I'm setting down the weight
Of every almost and just wait
And I'm learning how to be
Light enough to breathe
Love feels heavy
But I let it go
And I won't carry what I can't hold
I deserve a heart that meets me steady
Not going on next
Love feels heavy
Love feels light
When it's true
And it's not just calling for you
And I'm finally free from what broke me
Love on feels
So heavy on me
Love feels heavy
But not forever
