I hear you calling from the street outside my window

You keep returning just to tell me that you're gone

No need to keep repeating, old words lose their meaning

If you can't stay away you don't mean what you say

[Chorus]

You carry your heart

No one to hold all of their weight on your shoulders

You carry your heart

When it gets cold you run to me

You can't carry your heart alone

When I told you that I wished you'd stay forever

Did it make it harder to remain

Now you lock my love inside you, run for cover cause you can't hide

Closing your mind to the love you leave behind

[Chorus]

You carry your heart

No one to hold all of their weight on your shoulders

You carry your heart

When it gets cold you run to me

You can't carry your heart alone

Every time you need a hand to hold

You'll have to give it up to get it back

You'll have to trust me long enough to know

I'll never let it go

[Chorus]

You carry your heart

No one to hold all of their weight on your shoulders

You carry your heart

When it gets cold you run to me

You can't carry your heart alone
