Heroes

AlphabetLyrics.com


You wanted me to be the one that you could turn to
The shelter from the rain, yeah...
You wanted me to be the one that couldn't hurt you
Safe house from the pain, yeah...

You wanted me to be the only one, you were counting on that
I'm sorry that I am just the way I am, and I left you standing
And I'm not a good man, and I don't do the right things
You want me to be somebody I'm not, oh...

That's why the heroes fade so fast, you should have known
The good boys always finish last, you should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine, no more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast, good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah...

You always told me you appreciated my truth, you were loved and you hurt, yeah...
And I'm showing if my honesty pains you, but you live and you learn, yeah...

I wanted you to be the only one, and I was counting on that
And I'm sorry that I am just the way I am, and I left you standing
I've been wandering colder, weight of the world on my shoulders
You want me to be somebody I'm not, uh...

That's why the heroes fade so fast, you should have known
The good boys always finish last, you should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine, no more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast, good boys always finish last.

Never gonna ever be somebody I am not, oh...
Never gonna ever sever any time this way.

You should have known
The good boys always finish last, you should have known
And I was not yours, you were not mine, no more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast, good boys always finish last.

That's why the heroes fade so fast, you should have known
The good boys always finish last, you should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine, no more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast, good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah...
