Sometimes Your Heroes Let You Down

Well true love for me was a bitter pill But I swallowed hard And sat there soft and still And every time I tried to trust someone I would come undone And I was theirs to kill I'm gonna have to find my own way now Well the kings and queens did not really know But they acted like they belonged So we went along with the show But after some time I began to find the cracks Where all the money goes And what they sell as fact And sometimes what's lost cannot be found Sometimes your heroes let you down When the lights come up You'll see it for what it was And we're gonna have to find our own way now I bought a poster and I hung it up I was a poser but I was close enough And patched his name upon my jacket sleeve Put all my faith in ideology And sometimes what's lost cannot be found Sometimes your heroes let you down When the lights come up You'll see it for what it was And we're gonna have to find our own way now And don't I wish that I was still a kid And I did not learn about the things I did 'Cause weren't the curtains high on all things big Ain't they coming down now I guess nothing's how it seems Sometimes your hero's just a dream Once I heard the sound So clear and quite profound Once I held it in my hand and swore I'd never put it down But when the lights come up You'll see it for what it was And we're gonna have to find our own way now We're gonna have to find our own way now
