The Unbearable Heaviness Of The Heart

Verse:
painful awakenings
sentenced to daily jobs
unspoken words
can leave some bleeding scars
bad chosen words
can tear a soul apart
to be ignored
that is the hardest part

PRE
it’s not so hard to do it
it’s hard to think you must
it’s not so hard to know it
it/s hard to find it out
living ain’t surviving

Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
the unbearable heaviness of the heart


Verse:
rewind repeat
the daily spinning wheel
how does it feel
to break this chain of steel
you’d better stop
the rat race can’t be won
i am much more
than a gearwheel full of rust

PRE
it’s not so hard to do it
it’s hard to think you must
it’s not so hard to know it
it/s hard to find it out
living ain’t surviving

Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
the unbearable heaviness of the heart

Bridge:
once i couldn’t sleep, and you were by my side, you said:
‘don’t care about the rat race, leave everything behind’
so i got back to focus, i’ve never been so wise
it is just me and you alone, a husband and a wife

Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
The dream is real
The dream is you
We will never feel apart
The unbearable heaviness of the heart
