Everybody loves you |
|
And they want to know your story |
|
You go riding out a mystery |
|
Concealed in all your glory |
|
But when it comes to flesh and bones |
|
You remind me of shallot |
|
Only made of shadows |
|
Even though you're not |
|
I remember how i spent |
|
All my energy and time |
|
With affected conversation |
|
Trying to pry inside your mind |
|
You are as beautiful as truth |
|
And as empty as a shell |
|
And i came to you one night |
|
And it made me feel like hell |
|
Oh to reach through all your surface |
|
Just to find an empty pool |
|
And to suffer all your pride |
|
As i lay down by your side |
|
And you swallowed up my heart |
|
And left me a fool |
|
Left me a fool |
|
Everybody loves a hero |
|
An image to create |
|
The antithesis of everything |
|
Inside ourselves we hate |
|
But you'd better close your eyes |
|
When it's time for them to die |
|
Because you'd hate to think the life |
|
You'd built upon them was a lie |
|
Oh to reach through all your surface |
|
Just to find an empty pool |
|
And to suffer all your pride |
|
As i lay down by your side |
|
And you swallowed up my heart |
|
And left me a fool |
|
Left me a fool |
|
I resign myself to silence |
|
I will never blow your cover |
|
No one ever has to know |
|
Who the hero took for lover |
|
But it has come to mind as you blaze on |
|
As brilliant as a star |
|
How many you've left behind |
|
How many casualties there are |
|
Oh to reach through all your surface |
|
Just to find an empty pool |
|
And to suffer all your pride |
|
As i lay down by your side |
|
And you swallowed up my heart |
|
And left me a fool |
|
Left me a fool |
