Oh, I'm better than I was back then
Even though we're not even close to friends
And I'm sorry if I stalled you
If I slowed you down
But if I'm gonna lose you
Who's gonna hold you now?

I'm on fire
With wild desire
Take me higher
Oh, I know that your heart won't stay
So I learned to hide mine away
Stitch it up, laugh it off
It's not enough
When did it ever get so heavy?
Heavy
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I wish that I could be a better man
But I'm hollow on the inside
I'm sick of all the struggling
And I know I could've told you
Could've told you then
I know your dreams may have come true
But I'm not part of them

I'm on fire
With wild desire
Take me higher
Oh, I know that your heart won't stay
So I learned to hide mine away
Stitch it up, laugh it off
It's not enough
When did it ever get so heavy?
Heavy

I only hope now
Any second you would call me up
I'll keep my head down
Time always runs out
I count the hours just to call it love
But you won't

I'm on fire
With wild desire
Take me higher
Oh, I know that your heart won't stay
So I learned to hide mine away
Stitch it up, laugh it off
It's not enough
When did it ever get so heavy?
When did it ever get so heavy?
Heavy
