"Wicker Woman" lyrics

I held my breath, I held my tongue
To make you feel big and strong
You thought you could tear me down
And it would mean nothing now
For you, for you

You took the air out of my lungs
Whispered, "You're weak", but you were wrong
Like you could rip the roots from me
And I'd just crawl silently
From this land, by your hand

I'm a wicker woman, put a lighter in my chest
Thought I wouldn't do it, I meant every word I said

Woah, don't test me now, I'm burning out
I've found the fire that I've always needed
Say you love me now, too late somehow
I've found the fire that I've always needed
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a lighter in my chest

I hope you crumble to your knees
I hope you watch in disbelief
You broke every straw in me
I am not your effigy
Nor God's plan, I am no man

I'm a wicker woman, put a lighter in my chest
Thought I wouldn't do it, I meant every word I said

Woah, don't test me now, I'm burning out
I've found the fire that I've always needed
Say you love me now, too late somehow
I've found the fire that I've always needed
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a lighter in my chest

Woah, woah
Ooh-ooh, ooh

Woah, don't test me now, I'm burning out
I've found the fire that I've always needed
Say you love me now, too late somehow
I am the fire that I've always needed
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a
I'm a wicker woman with a lighter in my chest
