Too Heavy, Too Strong

Elkie Brooks


Can you think or remember only yesterday
When you had things going for you, so much to say
Is the spark gonna be there, will you make a play
Do I take your promise from you once again?

Give it up or keep hangin' on
Give it up, tell me how long
Give it up, it's too heavy, too strong

If I take you back tell the magic's still there
If there's only half of you then I just don't care
'Cause I want to remember you the way you were
You live in memories, somehow they don't ring true
Truth is a glorious past but none of them knew
No-one else can tell the story
Only you can say but surely
Do I take your promise once again

Give it up or keep hangin' on
Give it up, tell me how long
Give it up, it's too heavy, too strong
Give it up, tell me I'm wrong

You had it all, you gave it away
You've got a chance to prove to yourself
? you find that you'll need
Just the strength to make you believe it

Everything you remember only yesterday
Everything you remember only yesterday

Give it up or keep hangin' on
Give it up, tell me how long
Lighten up, it's too heavy, too strong
Give it up, tell me I'm wrong
Just keep hanging on
Give it up, tell me how long
Give it up, it's too heavy, too strong
Give it up, tell me I'm wrong
Keep hanging on
Give it up or keep hangin' on
Give it up, tell me how long
Give it up, it's too heavy, too strong
