Heroes lyrics

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
