Heavy Heart

Dave Hause


Get dolled up for the reunion
You’ll be one of the girls who has aged like wine
You’ll fret and fuss to get ready
But you need to know that the years have been kind
The nagging voice in the darkness
It’s like your so-called friend that has stayed too long
Don’t let it whisper too loudly
It threatens your nerve, it smothers your song

Don’t let your heavy heart drag you down
Drag you down

The deafening din of the static
It’s like all that they built has been falling apart
It creeps in like and informant
It gnaws at your time and it weighs on your heart
The loneliness in the kitchen
I know her ghosts come ‘round ‘cause they haunt me too
Don’t second-guess your potential
‘Cause there’s a heart of gold that she left there in you

Don’t let your heavy heart drag you down
Drag you down
Don’t let your heavy heart drag you down
Drag you down

I know these last few years have made you feel so tired
When disenchantment swells it gets so hard to hide

Don’t let your heavy heart drag you down
Drag you down
Don’t let your heavy heart drag you down
Drag you down
