You know me, I used to get caught up in everyday life |
| [00:22.720] |
Tried to make it through my day so i could sleep at night |
| [00:25.680] |
Tried to figure out my way through the maze |
| [00:28.290] |
Of rights and wrongs, but like you used to say |
| [00:30.390] |
Nothing feels like it's really worth it |
| [00:32.610] |
Forget perfect, i'm trying not to be worthless |
| [00:34.540] |
Since i last saw you i been lookin for a purpose |
| [00:37.320] |
Well i met this kid who thought like i did |
| [00:39.810] |
He had a weird way of lookin at it |
| [00:41.680] |
This is what he said |
| [00:42.930] |
|
| [00:43.430] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [00:44.740] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [00:47.470] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [00:50.430] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [00:52.970] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [00:55.760] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [00:58.320] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [01:01.90] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [01:02.680] |
|
| [01:03.430] |
I dont remember where i met him or remember his name |
| [01:06.220] |
But he walked funny like he was too big for his frame |
| [01:08.810] |
Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty |
| [01:11.480] |
And what he said just seemed so right it stuck with me |
| [01:14.460] |
Listen its like poker you can play your best |
| [01:16.870] |
But you got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest |
| [01:19.560] |
And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath |
| [01:22.470] |
And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck because |
| [01:25.490] |
I dont need to tell you that life isnt fair, it doesnt care |
| [01:27.880] |
It arbitrarily cuts off your air, and like you i want someone to say its okay |
| [01:32.830] |
But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid |
| [01:35.640] |
But just underappreciated and overwhelmed |
| [01:38.330] |
Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves |
| [01:40.880] |
You understand when im saying that you always did |
| [01:43.490] |
But its different in the words of a cowardly kid |
| [01:44.360] |
|
| [01:46.630] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [01:49.240] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [01:51.840] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [01:54.500] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [01:57.440] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [02:00.960] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [02:02.350] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [02:05.20] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [02:05.920] |
|
| [02:07.370] |
Im no hero, you remember how i was, you know |
| [02:10.710] |
All i ever did was worry, feeling out of control |
| [02:12.640] |
To the point where everything was going end over end |
| [02:15.540] |
Im spinning around in circles again |
| [02:17.630] |
This is where you come in |
| [02:19.430] |
All of this to explain to you why |
| [02:20.730] |
I had to separate myself away from yesterday's life |
| [02:22.870] |
Please remember this isn't how i hoped it would be |
| [02:26.70] |
But i had to protect you from me |
| [02:28.390] |
Thats why i slipped out the back before you knew i was there |
| [02:31.660] |
I know you felt unprepared |
| [02:33.950] |
But every single time i was around i just bring you down |
| [02:36.740] |
And i could tell that it was time to be scared |
| [02:39.240] |
Thats why i slipped out the back before you knew i was there |
| [02:42.400] |
And i know the way i left wasnt fair |
| [02:44.770] |
I didnt want to be around just to bring you down |
| [02:47.600] |
Im not a hero but dont think i didnt care |
