I found myself back on my feet again
When we were friends and we had nothing left
Now that I’m on the up and up again
My heart’s as heavy as it ever gets
How it goes
This is how it goes
I can’t give the best of me
Heavy heart inside of me, inside of me
I’m not your curse, I’m not your antidote
There’s things I’ll do and babe there’s things I won’t
Don’t try to test me I won’t play for broke
Your false bravado never wins my vote
How it goes
This is how it goes
I can’t give the best of me
Heavy heart inside of me, inside of me
I bang my head, rattle the bars and fight
I can’t escape myself, no nothing ever changes
I bite my nails, I’m losing sleep at night
No matter what I do, no nothing ever changes
Please don’t believe me ‘cause I’ve been untrue
I don’t know why I do these things I do
I’m sorry I can’t make it to your door
Without my heavy heart falling through the floor
How it goes
I can’t give the best of me, heavy heart inside of me
This is how it goes
I can’t give the best of me, heavy heart inside of me

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
