  • Weep for yourself, my man
    You'll never be what is in your heart
    Weep Little Lion Man
    You're not as brave as you were at the start
    Rate yourself and rake yourself
    Take all the courage you have left
    And waste it on fixing all the problems
    That you made in your own head

    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

    Tremble for yourself, my man
    You know that you have seen this all before
    Tremble Little Lion Man
    You'll never settle any of your scores
    Your grace is wasted in your face
    Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
    Now learn from your mother
    Or else spend your days biting your own neck

    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?

    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?

    Ha
    Ha
    Ha
    Ha
    Ha
    Ha

    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?

    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? Writer/s: Benjamin Walter David Lovett, Edward James Milton Dwane, Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford, Winston Aubrey Aladar Marshall
