When a Heart Yearns

Went to the store for the first time in a while

Entered it, started to lose it, head down

Said to myself just keep walking, and then I'll

Run to back to bed, had to crawl in, lay down

And it happened in slow motion and it happens all the time

You say a heavy load is what you carry when the road turns

When the fire burns

When a heart yearns

You say a heavy load is what you carry when you return

When you unlearn

When a heart yearns

Looked at the face that the window reflected

Covered my eyes when I saw what I dreaded

Said to myself just stop crying, don't let it

Get to you, hoping that I would forget it

But it haunted me for hours and it haunts me all the time

You say a heavy load is what you carry when the road turns

When the fire burns

When a heart yearns

You say a heavy load is what you carry when you return

When you unlearn

When a heart yearns

And it happened in slow motion

And it happens all the time

And it haunted me for hours until it passed the time

Then it all went quiet

You say a heavy load is what you carry when the road turns

When the fire burns

When a heart yearns

You say a heavy load is what you carry when you return

When you unlearn

When a heart yearns
