Heavy Hands

[Intro (soft, spoken)]

Yeah…
Some things don’t leave you…
No matter how far you run…

⸻

[Verse 1 (calm, reflective)]

I been carrying ghosts I don’t talk about
Every wrong turn got me walking routes
That I can’t escape, that I can’t outrun
Like I’m chasing peace but it never comes

Got mistakes in my past like they carved in stone
Every night I replay what I should’ve known
Every word I said that I can’t take back
Every bridge I burned, yeah I feel that crack

People say “move on,” like it’s that easy
But the weight I hold still tries to beat me
I smile in public, keep it all contained
But inside my chest, it’s a different pain

⸻

[Hook (emotional)]

I got weight I can’t drop, no matter how I try
Every step forward feels like a lie
I wanna fix what I broke back then
But I can’t go back to where I’ve been

Yeah I carry it all, yeah it’s stuck in me
Every scar, every fault, every memory
If I could rewind, I’d change my path
Now I’m stuck with the weight of my past

⸻

[Verse 2 (more intensity)]

I’ve said things I regret, yeah I own that
Left people in pain, can’t control that
Now it echoes back every time I breathe
Like the past got a grip and it won’t release

Tried to bury it deep, tried to let it die
But it lives in my thoughts every time I lie
To myself like “I’m fine,” but I know I’m not
Got a war in my head that I always fought

I wanna be better, I swear I do
But the man in the mirror don’t feel brand new
Still see the same flaws, still feel that shame
Still hear my name tied to my mistakes

⸻

[Hook (stronger)]

I got weight I can’t drop, no matter how I try
Every step forward feels like a lie
I wanna fix what I broke back then
But I can’t go back to where I’ve been

⸻

[Bridge (stripped, vulnerable)]

If I could go back… I would change it all
Every wrong decision, every time I fall
But life don’t rewind, it just moves ahead
And I’m stuck with the things that I never said

⸻

[Verse 3 (growth / resolve)]

So I stand right here with the weight in hand
Try to be a better, stronger man
Not perfect, no—I still slip, still fall
But I’m learning to face it instead of stall

Maybe healing ain’t letting it disappear
Maybe it’s learning to carry it year by year
Turning regret into something real
Letting the scars remind me to heal

I can’t erase what I’ve done before
But I can choose who I am moving forward
Piece by piece, yeah I’m building right
Even in darkness, I’m chasing light

⸻

[Final Hook (full emotion)]

I got weight I can’t drop, but I’m learning to stand
With the past in my heart and hope in my hands
I can’t fix every wrong, I can’t change it all
But I won’t be the man that I was before

⸻

[Outro (soft, fading)]

Yeah…
Still carrying it…
But I’m not the same…
