Heavy Load

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walkin’ round with a tight chest Every step echoes what’s left They said I was worthless, bound to fall But I got up, no one heard my call Scars you can’t see, fear that won’t fade Sleepless nights, thoughts that invade Carried guilt that wasn’t mine, weight with both hands on my back, I kept movin’ I smiled in the room, broke down in the hall Still showed up, still stood tall [Pre-Chorus] And I know it shows When the burden grows But I’m not breakin’ No, I’m not breakin’ [Chorus] Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) I been carryin’ it slow Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) But I’m lettin’ some go Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) You can see it in my stride Heavy load, heavy load I’m still on the other side [Verse 2] Mornin’ hit hard, same old dread Same old loop in my head Tryna breathe through the noise in my chest Tryna give my bones a little rest Hands shook when the phone lit up Still I answered, still I showed up Told myself, “Don’t you fold now” Knew the dark, but I held my ground Every bruise, every doubt, every bruise Took a hit, but I never chose to lose [Pre-Chorus] And I know it shows When the burden grows But I’m not breakin’ No, I’m not breakin’ [Chorus] Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) I been carryin’ it slow Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) But I’m lettin’ some go Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) You can see it in my stride Heavy load, heavy load I’m still on the other side [Bridge] Set it down, little by little Let the shame crack in the middle I don’t owe my pain my life I can breathe, I can rise Set it down, little by little Let it shake, let it settle [Final Chorus] Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) I been carryin’ it slow Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) But I’m lettin’ some go Heavy load, heavy load (heavy load) You can see it in my stride Heavy load, heavy load I’m still on the other side
