Cover art for Heavy in Your Arms lyrics by Florence + the Machine

I think this song is about the subject of the song being depressed and it bringing down the relationship (obviously the last verse says that he is strong enough to handle her sadness)

This song rings soooooo very true to me as I am a bit of a complicated one to love.... and it always has put a strain on any relationship I have. I feel guilty with the depression that I have, especially as I love someone I should be happy to be there, with him, because he does make me happy.

Its very sad, being sad is.
