Derek Webb lyrics : "Heavy"

I have needs I cannot deny them
I was made to want these things
I will stay if you can supply them

If you can't I'll trade my ring

For a father who loves me enough

To provide what he's made me to love
It's very good you said so yourself
Then you put it so high on the shelf

But I can almost taste it

So I try to make light of things I can't deny are so heavy

Whose weight is so great that your body is crushed underneath
Yet I stand on your grave and I claim I am tall and I'm steady
But tell the truth I'm bound to fall on you


It is fruit for which I am reaching
It's simple supply and demand

If it's abstinence that you're preaching
Then you'll have to slap my hand
And then say that it's best for me

But tonight I just don't believe
There are things I'll take at your word
But there are bridges I'm willing to burn

Once the toll is taken

So I try to make light of things I can't deny are so heavy

Whose weight is so great that your body is crushed underneath
Yet I stand on your grave and I claim I am tall and I'm steady
But tell the truth I'm bound to fall on you


I have waited long enough
I have waited long enough

I have waited long enough
I have waited long enough


So I try to make light of things I can't deny are so heavy
Whose weight is so great that your body is crushed underneath
Yet I stand on your grave and I claim I am tall and I'm steady

But tell the truth I'm bound to fall on you
To fall on you
