Amel Larrieux - Weary Lyrics

This woman is growing weary
Of having to be so strong
Of having to pretend I'm made of stone
So I won't end up with no broken bones
I can't fight every battle alone

I want someone to lift me
Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head
Say words that should be said
Fear is not the matter
I would so much rather open up my heart
And lay down my guard

[Chorus:]
If I could trust someone
To have my back and never do me wrong
Then I would give my love up
Just like that stop singing this soldier song
[repeat]

whomever said love was overrated
must not be getting none
my independent days have had their fun
but when the parties over
and the workin' day is done
I just want to come home to someone

I want a love to take me
As I am not make me compromise myself
Or be like no one else
Fear is not the matter
I would so much rather open up my heart
And just lay down my guard

[Chorus]
