This version of Little Lion Man comes from Triple Js Like a Version. You could quite easily make an argument that it’s about a man that wants to be something more than what he is but he doubts himself and is scared of letting down those he loves. This leads him to freezing up and not attempting anyt...
[Hook]
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
[Verse 1]
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm sorry for the things I've done, but more sorry for the man I'm not
She says "Now don't you worry," picks petals off a love me not
I swear she could walk on water if she didn't have to hold me up
My friends all look like strangers, my desk is crumpled papers
I want to take this world and break it apart and rearrange it
Yeah, I've got a lot of problems, but I guess I've got a lot more angels
One thing I know for sure though, none of them have come from bravery
It takes a lot less effort to learn to fear than love
But if I just don't try then I will never have to give up
She says that she knows my heart, that I've come so far, that I will not stop
That I don't see me like they see me, well I think she's wrong, but I hope she's not
[Hook]
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?
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
[Verse 2]
I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone
My friends all want to get high, well I just don't want to get low
They're scared of things they know, me? I'm scared of things I don't
I fear that the bump in the night could be myself if I lose hope
I did not start the fire, son, but I sure as watched it burn
I sat and warmed my hands at the ash of the gifts I've not earned
I swear on the body in the box that I will be when it comes my turn
You can tell the people I love that I may yet run but I will return
[Hook]
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?
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?
I'm a little lion man, with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Hook]
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?
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?
