### **Pre-Chorus**
> I know if I say yes, we’ll be happy
> Yeah, that’s the part that messes with me
> I’ve been alone just a little too long
> Now quiet feels like safety
---
### **Chorus**
> I’m the cowardly lion in my story
> Got a heart but I hide it well
> I roar real loud when nobody’s listening
> Then I run when the moment sells
>
> I’m the cowardly lion in my story
> Yeah, I laugh like I’ve got it all
> If loving you is the brave thing to do
> I’m scared I might trip when I fall

### **Verse 2**
> Learned how to sleep with the TV on
> Empty rooms, but the nights go fast

> Maybe I’ve been alone too long
> Made a habit of closing doors
> It gets lonely, yeah, I’ll admit it
> I just don’t know what I’m waiting for

### **Chorus**
> I’m the cowardly lion in my story
