Ronnie Day - Heroes Die lyrics

Maybe you're a tree who's leaves stay

Or maybe you go where the wind blows

All I know is I'm right either way

Every word you spoke was subtle

So I never gave you one rebuttal

Because somehow I knew you

Meant what you said

It's like I spoke to you,

It's like you spoke to me

You know we need each other

These things we built could last forever

Sometimes we watch our heroes die

And we don't know why

We don't know why they

Left us so young

Sometime we watch our mirrors cry

And we don't know why

We don't know why they

Left us undone

I've learned that I can live without you

I've learned that there are things about you

Which I knew

Which I chose to hold in

I've seen your eyes when they're glassed over

Your charcoaled lungs… Malignant fire

Desire kept us holding on tight.

I am now everything good that you did

I'm tossing out all of the things you kept hid

Like the scars on your knuckles

The way that you chuckled…

When the bottle made way for it
