Wounded Animal

Mary Lambert

Heart On My Sleeve, 2014, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I carried your heart
Like a wounded animal, soft
I kept my condolences to myself, soft
I spent my last hours defending how I fell
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I didn't try harder
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I didn't try at all
I lost myself when I found you in the fall
I left it all
I lost myself when I found you in the fall
I left it all
I carried your love
With a kind of urgency, scared
I kept all my senses from feeling you too much
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I didn't try harder
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I didn't try at all
I lost myself when I found you in the fall
I left it all
I lost myself when I found you in the fall
I left it all
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I didn't try harder
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I didn't try at all
