Hero

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story

I'd save you from yourself

And sometimes I wish I could take somethin'

A little bit stronger to drown you out

Were you ever happy

Or did I read you all wrong?

Were you still in mending

While I left your lights on?

Lights on, lights on, lights on

[Chorus]

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

[Post-Chorus]

Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story

I'd save you from yourself

[Verse 2]

You're keeping a straight face

So what am I to do?

And when you look in the mirror

Am I still looking at you?

Taking my all, you were drowning us dead

'Cause ever since the fall you've been hidin' what you meant

And I wish I saw all the doubt that you felt

'Cause now you're out, now you're out

[Chorus]

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

All this time

I've been wastin' my mind

I've been wastin' my mind

[Outro]

Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story

I'd save you from yourself

And sometimes I wish I could take something

A little bit stronger to drown you out
