On “heavy.”, Au/Ra brings a starkly emotional admission of her inability to support another, or reflecting the recursive inner conflicts of her third EP Soundtrack to an Existential Crisis, her inability to find balance within herself.

[Verse 1]
If I had a glue stick strong enough
You know I would use it, but I don't
Your heart's racin', I feel it in your hands
You're holdin' the pieces, but I can't
[Chorus]
I'm too heavy, can't you see, I take us both down?
I'm too heavy, you should let go of me, let go of me
I'm too heavy, can't carry, I take us both down
I'm too heavy, you should let go of me, I'm too heavy
[Verse 2]
My face is purple now from bottling up
Glass would shatter if we touched
Throw your pieces at me
I can't fixate, you start crumbling
'Cause no one can, only you
[Chorus]
I'm too heavy, can't you see, I take us both down?
I'm too heavy, you should let go of me, let go of me
I'm too heavy, can't carry, I take us both down
I'm too heavy, you should lеt go of me, I'm too heavy
[Bridge]
Waiting, stop waiting, stop waiting for help
Waiting, stop waiting, you can only savе yourself
I'm too heavy
[Chorus]
I'm too heavy, can't you see, I take us both down?
I'm too heavy, you should let go of me, let go of me
I'm too heavy, can't carry, I take us both down
I'm too heavy, you should let go of me, I'm too heavy
