I'm Not Your Hero
Description:
This is a song that Sara Quin wrote and that appeared on the album Heartthrob.
Lyrics:
Standing where I am now, standing up at all
I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line
Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all
I was used to seeing no future in my sight line
Sometimes it feels like they want to remind me
Send all those villains after me
I'm not their hero but that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line, doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero, but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
Feeling like I am now, lighting up the hall
I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart
Learning all I know now, losing all I did
I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead
Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
Sending your peaceful arms to me
I'm not their hero but that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line, doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero, but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
Gets so hard to know I'm not what they want
Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
Gets so hard to know I'm not what they want
I'm not their hero but that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line, doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero, but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
Do my best to walk the finest line till I've had all that I can take
