Silverstein
A Hero Loses Everyday
[Verse 1]
Hey!
I've lost everything
Now I've gotta find a way out
Hey!
They keep asking me
Where I was when it was burning
There's no trying to explain
They'll lock me up again
Throw away the key
The protagonist became
The villain they disdain
In every way
[Verse 2]
Hey!
I've lost everything
But I'm gonna find a way out
Hey!
Nothing's left for me
Except malady and hatred
No evidence was found
They'll let me go for now
At least 'til tomorrow
[Chorus 1]
And hey!
When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone
Now!
As I drive away and leave the past behind
I think I'm dying
[Bridge]
It's so pathetic
I hate you so much but I still miss you
Karma is hard to change
When everything you do and say is awful
Remorse is hard to fake
When you only feel sorry for yourself
[Verse 3]
I'm coughing up more blood
It's filling up my lungs
It's killing me
[Chorus 2]
Hey!
When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone (I'll be long gone)
Dead!
Lying all alone on this motel room floor
I know I'm dying (I know I'm dying)
[Outro]
Hey! (Hey!)
I've lost everything
Now! (Now!)
I've succumbed to grace
Hey! (Hey!)
It's not that surprising
A hero loses everyday
