Heavy On My Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
I wake up, boots on stone
Empty hands, heavy bones
Got bills stacked, got fears too
Still I move, still I do
Whole world talk, I don’t
Keep it in, I won’t
Smile tight, jaw locked up
Carry rain in a paper cup

Pre-Chorus
Some days bite harder
Some nights last longer
I bend, I don’t break
I learn, I don’t shake

Chorus
Heavy on my back
Still I walk it out
Heavy on my back
Still I got no doubt
Even when I fall
I get up again
Heavy on my back
But I’m still my friend

Verse 2
They don’t see what I hold
Cold fears, nights gone cold
I been dragged through the mud
Still I rise, still I run
Sometimes I want out
Sometimes I just shout
Then I lock that door
And I give a little more

Pre-Chorus
Some days bite harder
Some nights last longer
I bend, I don’t break
I learn, I don’t shake

Chorus
Heavy on my back
Still I walk it out
Heavy on my back
Still I got no doubt
Even when I fall
I get up again
Heavy on my back
But I’m still my friend

Bridge
If I quit, who I be?
Just a shadow of me
So I breathe through the ache
One more step I make

Final Chorus
Heavy on my back
Still I walk it out
Heavy on my back
Still I got no doubt
Even when I fall
I get up again
Heavy on my back
But I’m still my friend
