Little Lion Man
Mumford Sons Lyrics

Weep for yourself, my man
Feel sorry for yourself, man, because you're not living up to your true potential.

You'll never be what is in your heart
You will never fulfill your deepest desires if you continue on this path.

Weep Little Lion Man
Cry over your lack of bravery and strength.

You're not as brave as you were at the start
You're not as courageous as you once were.

Rate yourself and rake yourself
Evaluate yourself honestly and harshly.

Take all the courage you have left
Use all the bravery you still possess.

And waste it on fixing all the problems
Spend it all on trying to solve issues that only exist in your mind.

That you made in your own head
That you created through your own thoughts and perceptions.

But it was not your fault but mine
It's not your fault, it's my fault.

And it was your heart on the line
You were vulnerable and exposed.

I really fucked it up this time
I made a huge mistake and caused damage.

Didn't I, my dear?
Isn't it true, my love?

Tremble for yourself, my man
Be fearful of yourself and your own actions.

You know that you have seen this all before
You've been through similar situations in the past.

Tremble Little Lion Man
Shake with fear, even though you see yourself as a strong lion.

You'll never settle any of your scores
You'll never resolve any of the issues you have with yourself.

Your grace is wasted in your face
Your elegance and poise is meaningless when you're not true to yourself.

Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Your confidence is the only thing keeping you strong amidst the destruction of your inner turmoil.

Now learn from your mother
Take advice from your parents, especially your mother.

Or else spend your days biting your own neck
Otherwise, you'll spend your time harming yourself and making matters worse.
