The Heroes We Thought We Were
I made you the villain
Of my tragic tale
The reason all of my dreams never prevailed
But really, I was just like you in the end
In another world, we could've been friends
If you don't forgive me, that's more than fair
My judgement was clouded because I was scared
You signified my failure, my incompetence
But in another world, we could've been friends
I tried so hard to prove that we were different
But now history sees us both as the villains
It turns out that we were both one in the same
Betraying each other for something we'd never attain
Didn't intend to cause so much pain
But I'm here now, I would throw it all away
I am truly sorry, for what it's worth
Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were
I think that we would've been a good team
If only things had worked out differently
But that's in the past, the story's long over
The best thing that I can do is give you closure
I tried so hard to prove that we were different
But now history sees us both as the villains
It turns out that we were both one in the same
Betraying each other for something we'd never attain
Didn't intend to cause so much pain
But I'm here now, I would throw it all away
I am truly sorry, for what it's worth
Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were
Let's throw away all the pain that remains
In this overgrown wreckage that
We once called our legacy
And realistically
We can't change history
How I did certain things
But there's no harm in trying
Some scars won't fade away
Some things you can't change
If you're still mad that's okay
I don't need you to like me
I'm sorry, for what it's worth
Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were
And realistically
We can't change history
We can't change history
Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were
