Disclaimer: I don't own the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas or the song "Heavy in Your Arms" or Florence + The Machine.
ALSO These technically aren't all the songs lyrics. It's a somewhat repetitive song, so I took out some of the repeats. So look up the whole song! It's really good!
Heavy In Your Arms
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.
Ralf couldn't take it.
He caused his son's death.
He pushed him away
And he ran into chaos.
He could be considered the murderer.
He was the brainwashing voice
Behind his son's actions.
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
Bruno didn't miss his father.
His father was the one who made him meet Schmuel.
Not that he didn't treasure the friendship.
But neither of them would be dead if it hadn't happened.
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
Schmuel cared for Bruno.
He trusted him.
He said they would save his father.
But they were lead to their death.
How could he trust again?
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
Elsa wish she hadn't married the monster.
The monster that killed her son.
The one who went with the wrong side.
The one who killed children.
The one who didn't understand the truth.
And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?
Gretel wasn't sure if her mother could take it anymore.
Because Elsa was too busy trying to heal Gretel and herself.
Should she just move out and save her mother this pain?
After all, she was old enough, and her only brother had died.
Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound
But the real problem was the mindsets.
The thought of superiority.
The silent racism that killed innocent people.
Was there one true murderer in this case?
Who was to blame
For many's mistakes?
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
Shmuel wanted to be alive again.
To be out of the camp, and free with Bruno.
They could be friends again.
But they couldn't go back in time.
And fix the fact that they were naive.
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms
Elsa couldn't take the pressure anymore.
She didn't know how to handle it.
So she blamed it on everything she could.
And she was smothered with it.
This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
So she told her husband how she felt.
She grabbed Gretel and they packed their things.
They left their home, and started again.
But one person was missing.
And that poor boy would never be back.
I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
Ralf knew he lost everything.
Because he caused his son's death.
He caused the endless fall of his future.
And now he had nothing.
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground
Bruno still had Shmuel in Heaven.
He would be okay.
But everyone he left.
Their lives would never be the same.
I hope you enjoyed it! It's kind of sad, but it's my first Boy in the Striped Pyjamas fic. It will probably be my only one, too, but this was interesting to write! R&R!
Love, Twipi :D
