Lyrics and translation

Original

Oh, I'm

Better than I was back then

Even though

We're not even close to friends

And I'm sorry if I stalled you

If I slowed you down

But if I'm gonna lose you

Who's gonna hold you now?

I'm on fire

With wild desire

Take me higher

Oh, I know that your heart won't stay

So I learned to hide mine away

And stitch it up, laugh it off, it's not enough

When'd it ever get so heavy? (Ooh)

Heavy

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, I wish

That I could be a better man

But I'm hollow on the inside

I'm sick of all the struggling

And I know I could've told you

Could've told you then, I know

Your dreams may have come true

But I'm not part of them

I'm on fire

With wild desire

Take me higher

Oh, I know that your heart won't stay

So I learned to hide mine away

And stitch it up, laugh it off, it's not enough

When'd it ever get so heavy? (Ooh)

Heavy

I only hope now, any second

You would call me up, I'll keep my head down

Time always runs out, I count the hours

Just to call it love, but you won't

I'm on fire

With wild desire

Take me higher

Oh, I know that your heart won't stay

I learned to hide mine away

I stitch it up, laugh it off, it's not enough

Well, when'd it ever get so heavy? (Ooh)

Heavy

When'd it ever get so heavy? (Ooh)

Heavy
