[Verse 1]
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
If I could trust someone
To have my back and never do me wrong
I would - I would give my love up
Just like that, stop singing this soldier song

[Verse 2]
Whomever said love is overrated
Must not be getting none
My independent days have had their fun
But when the party’s over
And the working 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]
[Bridge]
I want someone to lift me
Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head
Say words that should be said
I want someone to lift me
Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head
Say words that should be said

[Chorus]
