Tiger Lyrics by Will Butler

Empires

2014

[Verse 1 - Ponyhof]
There's a tiger in my heart
And he's tearing at the bones
And he's scaring off the parts
Of what I own
[Verse 2 - Ponyhof]
There's a secret in my skin
Doesn't have to do with you
When I love to let you wreck
Or some things we were born into
[Chorus - Ponyhof & Butler]
I'm so sorry
You've been a part of this
Been a part of this
Been a part of this
And I'm grateful
You've been a part of this
Been a part of this
[Verse 3 - Ponyhof]
There's a war in my mind
Between all that I know
Between wrong and right
Holding on and letting go
Of what I own
Of what I own
[Chorus - Ponyhof & Butler]
Now I'm seeing
The forest for the trees
Forest for the trees
Forest for the trees
And I'm feeling
Safe among the waves
Safе among the waves
[Verse 4 - Ponyhof]
Therе's a tiger in your heart
And he is tearing at the boat
And he is scaring all the parts
Of what you own
[Outro - Ponyhof]
And better let him go
Let him go
Let him go
