[Verse 1] I learned how to carry my own weight Built my walls and I learned to stand tall I walked through the ashes of yesterday And I didn't need saving at all But somewhere beneath all this armor There's a heart that still wants to know What it feels like to fall into someone And not have to hold on alone [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a hero on a white horse I don't need a hand to pull me through I just want someone who sees me And chooses me like I choose you [Chorus] I want a man who leads with his heart Who stands like a mountain when the world falls apart Someone who looks in my eyes and knows I'm the only place he wants to go I want a love that feels like shelter A touch that says "I've got you tonight" After all these years, after all this time I still want to be somebody's fire [Verse 2] I've been the strong one for so long now I've worn that crown like a queen But even queens need a kingdom And a place where they don't have to be seen I want the kind of love they write about The kind that doesn't fade away A hand that reaches for mine in the darkness And never lets go when I change [Bridge] Don't mistake my strength for not needing you Don't mistake my scars for being cold I've got a lifetime of love inside me I just want someone brave enough to hold [Final Chorus] I want a man who leads with his heart Who protects what he loves, who knows what he wants Someone who can't believe his luck That somehow he found my love I don't need to be rescued I don't need someone to fight my wars I just want to finally feel chosen Like I've been waiting for.......
