This woman is growing weary

Of having to be so strong

Of having to pretend I’m made of stone

So I won’t end up with no broken bones

I can’t fight every battle alone

I want someone to lift me

Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head

Say words that should be said

Fear is not the matter

I would so much rather open up my heart

And lay down my guard

Chorus:

If I could trust someone

To have my back and never do me wrong

Then I would give my love up

Just like that stop singing this soldier song

(repeat)

whomever said love was overrated

must not be getting’ none

my independent days have had their fun

but when the parties over

and the workin’ day is done

I just want to come home to someone

I want a love to take me

As I am not make me compromise myself

Or be like no one else

Fear is not the matter

I would so much rather open up my heart

And just lay down my guard

Chorus
