[Verse 1]
Warm lights from the grand houses blind me
Haves cannot stand have-nots
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground

[Chorus]
And I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's hero now
I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's hero now

[Verse 2]
They who should love me walk right through me
I am a ghost and as far as I know I haven't even died
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground

[Chorus]
And I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's hero now
I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's hero now

See me as I am
See me as I am
See me as I am
[Chorus]
I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's lover now
I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's lover now

[Verse 3]
Things I've heard and I've seen and I've felt and I've been
Tell me I'll never be anybody's lover now
It begins in the heart and it hurts when it's true
It only hurts because it's true
