You know me, I used to get caught up in everyday life |
| [00:23.25] |
Tried to make it through my day so i could sleep at night |
| [00:25.97] |
Tried to figure out my way through the maze |
| [00:27.87] |
Of rights and wrongs, but like you used to say |
| [00:30.32] |
Nothing feels like it's really worth it |
| [00:32.20] |
Forget perfect, i'm trying not to be worthless |
| [00:34.73] |
Since i last saw you i been lookin for a purpose |
| [00:37.47] |
Well i met this kid who thought like i did |
| [00:39.94] |
He had a weird way of lookin at it |
| [00:41.57] |
This is what he said |
| [00:42.46] |
|
| [00:42.88] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [00:45.16] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [00:47.84] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [00:50.47] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [00:53.44] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [00:55.79] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [00:58.52] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [01:01.10] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [01:03.17] |
|
| [01:03.79] |
I dont remember where i met him or remember his name |
| [01:06.42] |
But he walked funny like he was too big for his frame |
| [01:09.39] |
Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty |
| [01:12.14] |
And what he said just seemed so right it stuck with me |
| [01:14.77] |
Listen its like poker you can play your best |
| [01:17.07] |
But you got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest |
| [01:20.15] |
And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath |
| [01:22.70] |
And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck because |
| [01:25.76] |
I dont need to tell you that life isnt fair, it doesnt care |
| [01:28.60] |
It momentarily cuts off your air, |
| [01:30.54] |
and like you i want someone to say its okay |
| [01:33.07] |
But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid |
| [01:35.79] |
But just underappreciated and overwhelmed |
| [01:38.45] |
Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves |
| [01:41.17] |
You understand when im saying that you always did |
| [01:43.83] |
But its different in the words of a cowardly kid |
| [01:46.42] |
|
| [01:46.77] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [01:49.26] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [01:51.73] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [01:54.59] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [01:57.42] |
Slip out the back before they know you were there |
| [01:59.83] |
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares |
| [02:02.43] |
Cos you dont wana be around when it all goes down |
| [02:05.11] |
Even heroes know when to be scared |
| [02:07.27] |
|
| [02:07.73] |
Im no hero, you remember how i was, you know |
| [02:10.52] |
All i ever did was worry, feeling out of control |
| [02:13.18] |
To the point where everything was going end over end |
| [02:15.80] |
Im spinning around in circles again |
| [02:17.83] |
This is where you come in |
| [02:19.30] |
All of this to explain to you why |
| [02:21.25] |
I had to separate myself away from yesterday's life |
| [02:23.74] |
Please remember this isn't how i hoped it would be |
| [02:26.56] |
But i had to protect you from me |
| [02:28.84] |
Thats why i slipped out the back before you knew i was there |
| [02:32.05] |
I know you felt unprepared |
| [02:34.22] |
But every single time i was around i just bring you down |
| [02:37.13] |
And i could tell that it was time to be scared |
| [02:39.35] |
Thats why i slipped out the back before you knew i was there |
| [02:42.62] |
And i know the way i left wasnt fair |
| [02:45.23] |
I didnt want to be around just to bring you down |
| [02:47.78] |
Im not a hero but dont think i didnt care |
| [02:50.10] |
|
| [03:01.49] |
