I Should Have Been Your Hero Lyrics

I Should Have Been Your Hero lyrics

I was in the car that day - pretending, feeling numb

Staring at the clinic
wall - defending what we'd done.

There beneath a steel grey sky - that
spilled a mournful rain. 

I was in the car that day and knew - I'd never
be the same.



Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood
superstar.

I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.

I should have been your hero - but I let you slip away.



I was in
the car that day - rain falling in my heart

Silently we drove away -
sitting miles apart.

She looked at me and I could see - her eyes had
somehow changed. 

I was in the car that day and knew - She'd never be the
same.



Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood
superstar.

I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.



Larger than life, Defender of right

Caped crusader saving the
night

Piggyback rides and trips to the moon

Spaceship swings on
Sunday afternoon.

I should have been your hero - but I let you slip
away.



Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood
superstar.

I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.

I should have been your hero - but I let you slip 

Should have been
your hero - but I let you slip

I should have been your hero - but I let
you slip... away.





She said it was her choice to make 

and I just went along

How I wished that I'd stood my ground 

But
I wasn't quite that strong
