Heavy Lifting

from in from the dark by Haley K Turner

/

lyrics

I don’t always know where I’m going
But I’ve always known, that I’m trying
And sometimes sometimes I wonder
If it would be easier
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting

And all around us there are people watching
They look and they think that we’ve got it all
But they don’t know you like I know you
They don’t know you never catch me when I fall

But I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
And you don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am

And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
It’s not for me

Every day I pour my heart out
And you pretend you’re listening
But then your eyes glaze over and your heart hardens
And you leave me there on my knees

And I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
You don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am

And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
No it’s not for me

You can either step into the light with me,
Or say goodbye goodbye I’m leaving
Cause I can’t and I won’t stand for it anymore
And just as death does us part
So will it if you close your heart
And I can’t feel it open anymore

And I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
You don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am

And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
No it’s not for me
And sometimes sometimes I wonder
If it’d be easier
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting

about

Haley K Turner Vancouver, British Columbia

"At a time where a physical embrace is at a premium and people globally are struggling to stay connected to one another, in from the dark is the record to bridge the void."
- Canadian Beats

“Turner has a rich, gentle colour to her voice, fitting for the indie folk/ pop genre she calls home. It’s warm and thoughtful, apologetic and honest.”
