lyrics

Giving Love a Try

I am not strong, but I sure as hell ain't weak
I've built these walls around me so thick, so thick
Gonna break your heart, gonna leave you here alone
So I'm giving you a head start to run for the door

I'm not the girl you want to save
Got nothing but a battered heart to spare

You won't want to be around when my walls come crumbling down
You won't want to be the one when I break down and cry
But if you are, if you are
I thank you for giving love a try

I am not fierce, so quietly I'll fight
I won't give up so quickly when something feels right
Crawl out of my shell, gonna let you feel my warmth
I know that you could hurt me, but I'll risk the burn

You are the one I want to show
Even battered hearts have room for love to grow

You know I'll be around when your walls come crumbling down
You know I'll be the one when you break down and cry
And if I were, if I were
I'm thankful that I gave love a try

Stand before you so afraid to take that step
and you whisper to me that you're not ready yet

You know I'll be around when your walls come crumbling down
I know you'll be the one when I break down and cry
And if I am
If you are
I'm thankful that we gave love a try
So thankful, we gave it a try

about

Ania Ziemirska Toronto, Ontario

Ania Ziemirska's whiskey and honey-dipped vocals pour over edgy-folk and pop-infused melodies. Written over the course of a year in 2007-2008, her debut EP, I Was The Girl captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of an artist. Songs of longing, love and hope, with a dash of sarcasm, garner her inevitable comparisons to Sarah McLachlan, Chrissie Hynde and Martha Wainwright. ... more
