I've Got Too Much On My Heart

I’ve Got Too Much on My Heart Don Loyd © 2026 (Verse 1) This porch swing used to hold us, now it only holds the night Your suitcase by the doorway, catching shadows from the light I've got words piled up inside me, like a freight train with no track But every time I try to speak 'em, the truth won't find its way past I've been carrying this weight so long, my back is bent and sore And now you're looking at me, like you don't know me anymore (Verse 2) You say I've gone silent, that I built a wall too high But I was only trying to shield you from the storm inside my mind I never meant to lose you in the quiet that I made I just didn't know how to tell you that I'm scared and I'm afraid 'Cause loving you's been easy—it's the living that's been hard And now I'm watching you walk out, with my heart split clean apart (Chorus) I've got too much on my heart, and not enough in my hands Too many things I should've said, too many half-made plans I'm drowning in the silence, sinking in the shame Of a man who loved you deeply but couldn't speak your name Without breaking into pieces, without falling to my knees I've got too much on my heart, and it's taking you from me (Bridge) If I could take it all back—every worry, every fear I'd trade 'em for a single word that'd make you wanna stay here But the weight of what I'm carrying is heavier than your goodbye And the saddest part is knowing that I'm the reason why You're the only love I've known, the only one who saw The man I could have been, if I hadn't carried it all (Chorus) I've got too much on my heart, and not enough in my hands Too many things I should've said, too many half-made plans I'm drowning in the silence, sinking in the shame Of a man who loved you deeply but couldn't speak your name Without breaking into pieces, without falling to my knees I've got too much on my heart, and it's taking you from me (Outro) Yeah, it's taking you from me... Too much on my heart... and you're already gone.
