Heavy
Love's Weight: Tanika Charles Unveils the Burden of Passion
Lyrics
So you saying you're loving me
Expressing the partner's repeated declaration of love.
For the thousandth time
Highlighting the frequency of the partner's love confession.
Oh, you're loving me
Reiterating the partner's love for the speaker.
And then it hit me
Describing a realization about the overwhelming nature of the love.
That baby, I just can't do this everyday
Expressing the difficulty of coping with intense love every day.
Cause your love is so heavy
Describing the partner's love as emotionally burdensome.
And your world are all my shoulders can take
Stating that the weight of the partner's love is a heavy burden on the speaker.
Cause your love is so heavy
Repeating the idea of the partner's love being emotionally heavy.
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
Repetition emphasizing the continuous and strong pull of the partner's love, which feels burdensome.
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-Maybe it's me
Suggesting self-reflection on whether the speaker is the cause of the heavy love.
But baby ain't that what you love
Questioning if the partner loves the speaker despite perceived flaws.
Cause you say it and you say it, 'til I'm crazy
Describing the partner's persistent declarations that may contribute to the speaker's emotional state.
You say it and you say it again, until I go
-Your love keeps pulling me down, we've got to figure it out

Your love keeps pulling me down, we've got to find a way out

Said your world are all my shoulders can take
-And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down

And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
-Make-up smeared, lines are blurred
Describing a state of emotional distress, confusion, and inability to articulate feelings.
If this ain't love, can't find the words
-Can't find myself, can't find my heart

And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
