lyrics

These crosshatched fragile strings, cling like desperate lovers cling,
To one another in the dark, to create my little fawn heart
As mighty as it's immature, it's just weak from lack of use but put it to the test you'll find it could be from a lions breast -
I know i'm good for greater things, I know have the capacity I've been, saving up this space for you between my weakest spot and skipped beats
Took me a week to learn to walk - 15 years to loose my spots but many years with no sign of love, i'm really starting to doubt myself but

Now i'm ready, oh yes, i'm ready to be real!
Now i'm ready, oh yes, i'm ready to be real.
Make me reel, and make me feel.
This will be terrifying and magical.

Lead astray by simple things, I always blame my anxieties
I cut my ties and just lay waste to, anything that could've been and
I hypothesise as I lay awake at night that - this just takes some time, I just need to ease my mind
But I feel wearied in your arms, I am not strong - perhaps I am a fawn heart after all?

What if i'm not ready, oh what if i'm not good enough for this?
What if i'm not able, oh what if i'm not pure enough for this?
Maybe I was just born this way and there's nothing I can do to fix it for you,
Were I in your position I would go and find a lion heart less scared to utter words like "love" to you.
