Daphne Richardson – Heavy

Lyrics: Heavy by Daphne Richardson

[Intro]
Da-da-da
Da-doe
Da-da-da
Ooh (When I’m feelin’)
Da-da-da (Woah)
Da-da-da-da
Ooh

[Verse 1]
When it feels that I can barely breathe
Heart is crushed inside of me
Why are you put down, O my soul?
Don’t you know that God is in control?
When I feel I’m at capacity
And it’s hard to tell others what’s happening, oh
Why do I feel so afraid
When I know that God can make-away?
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, please take over

[Chorus]
When I’m feeling heavy, heavy
When life gets me down and I’m overwhelmed
You lift me, lift me
I may be cast down but I’m, I’m not destroyed
No, I’m not, no
Thank You, Lord, for keeping me

[Verse 2]
No, it’s not healthy
To try to carry on like you’re okay (Like you’re okay)
But deep inside you just want to run away, away
Don’t you know that God can heal your pain?
The darkest of your secrets, the hurt nobody knows
God is sending relief, oh

[Chorus]
When you’re feeling heavy, heavy, woah
When life gets you down and you’re overwhelmed
He’s there, He is there
He’s there to answer your cry
You’re not destroyed (No, no, He says to you)
You’re not destroyed (Here’s a reminder)
You may be hurting
But, oh, you’re not destroyed
Hm, anybody feel me?
Da-da-da-da-da
[Bridge]
Devil, talking to ya
You tried it (Tried messing with my mind)
Don’t you know? (Don’t you know?)
You better ask someone who you’re messing with
I’m still standing right here
Devil, hey, ooh
You tried it, tried, woah
Tried to break me, and crush me and take me
Don’t you know the God that I serve?

[Chorus]
Ooh, oh, it gets heavy sometimes (Sometimes)
(I’m not destroyed)
Speak to my heart, speak to my body
(I’m not destroyed)
Even after everything I’ve been through
(I’m not destroyed)
I’m, I’m not, destroyed
