Mumford And Sons - Little Lion Man (lyrics)

“But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line, I really fucked it up this time didnt I my dear” that hits hard

I remember my math teacher played this in class while we were working. It was in a clean playlist for some reason. I heard it, and was about to say something along the lines of “wait doesn’t this song have swears in it” when the chorus played. That was an interesting moment. Best math teacher I ever had though.

This song makes me nostalgic for places I've never been, and times I've never lived

Honestly, this makes me think of Achilles. His refusal to fight was what indirectly caused the death of Patroclus.

Years later and this song still gives me the chills...

I love to think of this song as calming. Especially the part "and it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line, I really fucked it up this time, didn't I my dear?" That line just hits so hard. It gets you in the feels.

The fact that this song is about the cowardly lion is neat.

This just popped into my head after 9 or so years. Not even the song, couldn't remember how it went but the title and artist I remembered.

Why do I feel like Mumford and Sons is really underrated

My son was born as this was released , he was my little lion man , a gem ... love him so much ..... ❤

this is such a beautiful song. i listen to it daily

This makes me look back at myself. The amount of lyrics that I’ve practically said to myself is insane. This’ll probably be my new vent song.

"Tremble for yourself my man. You know that you have seen this all before." Really hurts when you want to love someone so badly but you know that they'll hurt you again.. love yall 💓

i love this song

This song makes me want to cry anytime I hear it, whether I’ve had a beautiful day, or a real crappy day.

Weep for yourself, my man You'll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself Take all the courage you have left And waste it on fixing all the problems That you made in your own head But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my- Tremble for yourself, my man You know that you have seen this all before Tremble, little lion man You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face Your boldness stands alone among the wreck Now learn from your mother or else Spend your days biting your own neck But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear?

I recently got this on my recommended... i remember before my brother left he recommended me mumford and sons.. specifically this song.. i needed this, im so glad i found it again.. <3

I discovered this song a few months ago during my exam period. It was my third year in computer science and a horrible one to say the least, I didn’t know what i was doing w my life nor why and have been struggling with anorexia for years after numerous attempts to recover, which obviously didn’t help at all. I kept listening to this song on repeat in particular, « I really fucked it up this time, didn’t I my dear » really summed up a lot of what I was feeling but the instruments right after gave me some kind of strength and hope. « Weep, little lion man you’re not as brave as you were at the start, rate yourself and rake yourself, take all the courage you have left ». I’ve been a accustomed to feel defeated and not mentally strong enough, but this woke up the part of me that has always been there to make me get out of bed on my worst possible days. Anyhow, LOVE this song!!

I went through a pretty harsh childhood. My father didn't give me the emotionally support that every child deserves. He always blamed his scars on me, his problems on me. He abused me in many different ways. One day he crossed the line and I left him for good. Yet I had one final wish.. "But it was not your fault but mine. And it was your heart on the line. I really fucked it up this time. Didn't I my dear?"

i loveeeee this song
