Hero

Alycia stands behind me, ties black ribbon in my hair
The sound of heavy boots is slowly pounding up the stairs
The organ pours out slow and soothing old and rugged hymns
I long to find some comfort but my sorrow won’t give in
This is the coldest winter in a thousand freezing years
And if I started crying, I could never stop the tears
You don’t know what you’ve done
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero anymore
Times is slowing down like a river clogged with mud
People gather 'round me, some friends and other’s blood
The trumpeter stars playing Taps, the soldiers fire their guns
The folding of the flag makes the tears come in a flood
You don’t know what you’ve done
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero anymore
No one would say you were an easy man
No you were hard and stubborn and plain
And I’m tired of being held back at arm’s length
Tired, tired and something’s gotta change
You don’t know what you’ve done
I didn’t break, no I’ve grown strong
You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero
You’re not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore
You’re not my hero anymore
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You’re not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore
