Heavy Hands (Slowed)

I learned young how to shut it down,
How to kick my head when the roof fell down,
How to bite my tongue when you burn my chest,
How to care more and just call it stress.
They said,
"Be strong," so I never showed how much it costs just to hold that load.
You don't cry, you don't complain,
You just tighten up and take the blame.
You don't break, you don't bend, you just say,
"I'm good again." Heavy head, heavy heart,
