Heavy In Your Arms Lyrics – Florence + The Machine

Heavy In Your Arms Text

---

I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced a 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, oh
Whisper it like it's a secret
Uttered 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 a crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he held 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
