Heavy is the heart that feels the most 
Only for the weak 
It’s not fair you know?
Looking at me with those eyes 
Like I’m the only one meant to be seen
I prayed that I wouldn’t become the prey 
I knew you would hurt me one day 



You can’t survive out here like this 
With these untamed emotions 
And a drive that won’t quit 
So you call it quits 
And then I take a hit 
And now I’m calling you my best mistake 
And taking back pieces of myself that I left at your place, on your face
But that was my mistake
How many legs do you have to make shake?
And feel the vibrations 
Until you feel safe?
And you cave in and call that home 


Because I was safe and I thought that we were secure  
And your touch made me feel at home 
You were my lion 
But you were just lying
And I thought I was your lioness...
