I Hold Your Anger

[Verse 1]
I don’t know if I’d be a good mother
I dreamt that you cut off your arm
And I blame myself, I should have told you to be careful

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want to be the one
To tell you that it won’t grow back
I don’t want to see you cry
When your gods come crashing down

[Chorus]
I hold your sorrows, hold your fears
Hold your anger in my tears
Nobody asked me to
But that is what I’m meant to do

[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause I’m woman
And I’m mother
Oh, I’m a ship inside a bottle
‘Til the levee breaks
I don’t want to break

[Verse 2]
Standing where the hills meet the sea
I’m not sure whose knife I carry
What’s in a when? What’s in a why?
What’s it to live once you’ve survived?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve nеver known
Where othеrs begin and I end
But it's always you before me
Until the gods come crashing down

[Chorus]
I hold your sorrows, hold your fears
Hold your anger in my tears
Nobody asked me to
But that is what I’m meant to do

[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause I’m woman
And I’m mother
Oh, I’m a ship inside a bottle
'Til the levee breaks
'Til the levee breaks
'Til the levee breaks
'Til the levee breaks

[Bridge]
Stuck in the middle, facing my grave
I glance behind at the woman in a cage
Nobody asked me to
It’s not what I was made to do

[Outro]
Nobody asked me to
It’s not what I was made to do
But believe me, I still care
