Little Lion Man (Mumford and Sons Cover)

by Chance Waters

[Hook]
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man

[Verse 1]
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm sorry for the things I've done, but more sorry for the man I'm not
She says "Now don't you worry," picks petals off a love me not
I swear she could walk on water if she didn't have to hold me up
My friends all look like strangers, my desk is crumpled papers
I want to take this world and break it apart and rearrange it
Yeah, I've got a lot of problems, but I guess I've got a lot more angels
One thing I know for sure though, none of them have come from bravery
It takes a lot less effort to learn to fear than love
But if I just don't try then I will never have to give up
She says that she knows my heart, that I've come so far, that I will not stop
That I don't see me like they see me, well I think she's wrong, but I hope she's not

[Hook]
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?

I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man

[Verse 2]
I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone
My friends all want to get high, well I just don't want to get low
They're scared of things they know, me? I'm scared of things I don't
I fear that the bump in the night could be myself if I lose hope
I did not start the fire, son, but I sure as watched it burn
I sat and warmed my hands at the ash of the gifts I've not earned
I swear on the body in the box that I will be when it comes my turn
You can tell the people I love that I may yet run but I will return

[Hook]
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?

I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man

[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Hook]
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?
