Heroine Lyrics

Heroine lyrics

The first thing I remember you were walking away 

You were singing something gentle in the fade 

The next thing I remember I nearly pushed you off the stage 

I pretended not to be afraid 



I played the fool 

I played the drowning man 

I will play your heroine 

I know the rules 

You wrote them on my veins 

I will play your heroine 



I'm calling from the border of another nameless state 

I am sitting on the steps of our mistake 

I will bring you postcards of everything that's gray 

I will draw your smile on my slate 



I said I loved you 

I said I needed you but baby I was wrong 

Well that was Sunday 

And now it's Wednesday and I'm feeling strong 



Memory's a lover trying to tell you that she's late 

Memory's a silent second take 

She will drink the poison if you put it in your cup 

She will touch your eyes and never stop
