Heroes and Heroin

Never try to understand me
Expectation makes me old
Hide your pennies in the sand
Somehow I am supposed to know
The hardest thing to do is let it go
Yeah I know we've been affected
Perfected the power to charm
Did we serve to entertain
Did we find someone to blame
What I said and what I did
Were not the same
Chorus
Ooooh I am breathing (I am breathing)
Ooooh I am leaving in the morning baby
You can think about it when I'm gone
Could we lie
Behind the fables
Heroes and heroin
The weight here is far too much
To be worth so little
But will she come and stay with me
Chorus
Bridge
Did we serve to entertain
Did we find someone to blame
Was it something in your head
Was it something in your name
Give me something I can hold
I can try my best to help you
If you never let me down
Never try to understand her
Her roles and her ruin
Are very unforgiving
Do the things that you think you should
To let you know you're alive
You are young you are beautiful
Chorus X 2
