Heavy Handed - James Bay

It’s only getting harder

Talking to you without falling down

And this house keeps getting darker

We used to love, now all we do is shout

If we’re cutting any corners

There’s still a chance to make it right

So let’s put our heads together

Before we lose our mind

Have I been holding on too strong?

Maybe I’m coming off all wrong

Is it our heavy handed love

Keeping us from moving on?

Feels like I’m treading the water

Trying to keep my head above the line

I hear the sound of you get softer

Lately you’ve been just so hard to find

And there’s nothing I want more now

Than to say the perfect words

I try to make it better

But the trying only hurts

Have I been holding on too strong?

Maybe I came across all wrong

Is it our heavy handed love

Keeping us from moving on?

Uhhh Ohh ohh yeahh

I’m not ready to go tonight

I’m not ready to go tonight

(No, I’m not ready)

I’m not ready to go tonight

(To go)

Have I been holding on too strong?

Maybe I’m coming off all wrong

Or is it our heavy handed love

Keeping us from moving on?
