Lyrics
VERSE 1
I wear a black suit I attend
A funeral for an untimely end
Might have been a lover, could've been a friend
Think it's a letter I forgot to send
Think it's a letter I forgot to send
CHORUS
Carry my heavy heart around
Weighs so much that it's dragging me down
Try to break free but I'm losing ground
Carrying my heavy heart around
VERSE 2
I'm an emotional beast of burden
Carrying on instead of hurtin'
Never a tear falls from my eye
Stare straight ahead, just to get by
Stare straight ahead, so I won't cry
CHORUS
VERSE 3
(instrumental-- solos)
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Fear that a heart might get broken
Leaves so many words unspoken
Better not to think about it
Bottled up instead of shout ed
Better not to pout about it
CHORUS
