Lyrics:
There’s reasons for Heavy Hearts,
This Past Year I thought I was Broken
You Look so nice in a Cherry Scarf
We should go to Toronto more often.

I never wanna miss you this bad
I never meant to run out like that
Sometimes I feel just like my dad, rushing around
I never saw the god in that
Why work so hard if you can’t fall back
Then I remember I rely too much upon a heavy heart

And that’s a shame -pulling up like it’s Biscayne
Head to Nassau on the train
That’s on DC, Fuck you mean
Put the red dot on your team yah
I don’t need no one but me yeah
She said my turn and I geeked
She said my turn and I geeked
She a whole lot (Bad News)
Put the law on it (Yeah Fool)
I’m a rich Nigga (Rad Dude)
I can buy that (Damn Fool)
When I think about your last weeks
How you bled out in the sheets (yah)
How the doc said you were clean
All the weight yall put on me

I never wanna miss you like that
I really had to run out my bad
My hand on the small of your back,
Touching around
I really saw the god in that
Watching how you braced for impact
Then I remember I rely too much upon
A heavy heart.

There’s reasons for heavy hearts
This past year I thought I was broken
You look so nice in a cherry scarf
We should go to Toronto more often

I never wanna miss you this bad
I never meant to run out like that
Some nights I feel just like my dad
Rushing aroundI never saw the god in that
Why work so hard if you can’t fall back
Then I remember I rely too much upon my heavy heart.
