Wounded Animal - Mary Lambert

I carried your heart

Like a wounded animal, soft

I kept my condolences to myself, soft

I spent my last hours defending how I fell

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

I didn’t try harder

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

I didn’t try at all

I lost myself when I found you in the fall

I left it all

I lost myself when I found you in the fall

I left it all

I carried your love

With a kind of urgency, scared

I kept all my senses from feeling you too much

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I didn’t try harder

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I didn’t try at all
