lyrics

I've got a heart of gold but its heavy like lead
I've been anxious since I was a child
You wouldn't know 'cause I smile instead
that I contemplate the big jump every once and awhile

Sure ain't easy it never has been keeping up this tightrope act
Trying to balance all kinds of things
Never giving myself any slack

Just 'cause I carry it well doesn't mean its not heavy
So darling won't you hold me
Hold me close hold me steady

Long days, longer
Every morning's another fight
With the clock on the wall and the dark in my mind
I feel taller and taller as the years go by

Just 'cause I carry it well doesn't mean its not heavy
So darling won't you hold me
Hold me close hold me steady

The voice in my head gets so loud
All I'm after is a decent life
A little comfort, to be a mother
And an honest man's wife
All I'm after is a decent life

Just 'cause I carry it well doesn't mean its not heavy
So darling won't you hold me
Darling won't you hold me
Hold me close hold me steady
Hold me steady
Hold me steady

I guess my cover's blown, I'm a functional mess
I got things I'm still trying to fix
But I'll just keep singing to get shit of my chest
Hell I live for nights like this
Yeah I live for nights like this
