Wicker Woman

English translation

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

Ooo 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

Ooo 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 ooo

Woah ooo

Ooo 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
