I try to fly away but it's impossible 
And every breath I take gives birth to deeper sighs 
And for a moment I am weak 
So it's hard for me to speak 
Even though we're underneath the same blue sky 

If I could paint a picture of this melody 
It would be a violin without its strings 
And the canvas in my mind 
Sings the songs I left behind 
Like pretty flowers and a sunset 

[Chorus] 
It's heavy on my heart 
I can't make it alone 
Heavy on my heart 
I can't find my way home 
Heavy on my heart 
So come and free me 
It's so heavy on my heart 

I've had my share of pleasure 
And I've tasted pain 
I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings 
There's a journey in my eyes 
It's getting hard for me to hide 
Like the ocean at the sunrise 

[Chorus]

Love, can you find me in the darkness, and love, 
Don't let me down 
There's a journey in my eyes 
It's getting hard for my to hide 
And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings 

Whoo

[Chorus: x2]
