Hero

I'm starting to see
There can't be a me and you
At the same time
In the same truth

In disbelief
I reread the tragedy
And the point, babe
Is it doesn't end any other way

I gave you what
I gave you what
I gave you what I could
Didn't do any good

Must I be the serpent to slay
On your journey
To know you're powerful
You're worthy

A shame my dear
As I just held up the mirror
And when I'm gone
You will see very clearly
Which of your demons
Are real

I gave you what
I gave you what
I gave you what I could

At least I know
I spilled some blood
You were the one in all the songs
I never gave up on you love
Even when you were so far gone
Swimming with just about everyone
I wanted you in my door
I simply got no more
To open
Or else I would
Instead, we'll walk away feeling as good
As the heroes of our own stories should
Like the hero in our own story would
