i've heard they've all packed and gone,
 their lives our gods have now forgotten
 the price to pay is not enough, 
 and who returns is down to luck
 they say that hero will never die, 
 tell that to a son as their sights align
 another number is counted up, 
 a perfect one which has never stuck
 
 and there are just so many promises, 
 and even if one is a lie
 that's just enough for me, 
 to not wanna try
 
 and there are just so many promises, 
 and even if one is a lie
 that's just enough for me, 
 to not wanna try
 
 I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
 I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
 
 there's a thousand parts to me, 
 that's a lot of things to be
 and there's a lot of heart to bruise, 
 almost too much of it to choose
 they say that a hero will never die, 
 tell that to my son as their sights align
 another number is counted up, 
 our perfect one which we loved so much
 
 and there are just so many promises, 
 and even if one is a lie
 that's just enough for me, 
 to not wanna try
 
 I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
 I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
 to not wanna try
 to not wanna try
 
 o...i'm just about holding on, 
 o...i'm always just a little young
