Heroes versuri

Heroes lyrics by Animal Liberation Orchestra

Verse 1
They’ve been telling you lies most of your life
Well, not so much lies, but not the whole enchilada
I guess it was too hard at the time
Because the truth is it’s complicated
There’s a darkness that will come and will go
We kept it from you, but now it’s yours to hold
And I guess it’s part of our souls
It protects us, but sometimes it makes us terrible

Chorus
Light becomes shadow, your heroes behind bars
We tell ourselves that we are what we arе
The story unravels, the gamе was fixed
We tell ourselves that it is what it is
But it doesn’t have to be, or does it?
‘Cause it hasn’t always been, or was it?
But those kids who just arrived
They flipped the script on the screen
And suddenly the way it’s always been
It doesn’t have to be

Verse 2
There’s a chill in the air, it hurts my bones
As I get older, I’m searching for comfort
When the winter winds, they burn and blow
And the darkness, it seems to find me again
Might not be what you wanna know
Kept it from you but now it’s yours to hold
The stories of our heart hitting the floor
Touching the bottom and coming back
Up for more

Chorus
Light becomes shadow, your heroes behind bars
We tell ourselves that we are what we are
The story unravels, the game was fixed
We tell ourselves that it is what it is
We don’t change, we don’t change, we don’t change
We were born inside the engine of this runaway train
But sometimes in your smile I get a glimpse of the dream
And suddenly the way it’s always been
It doesn’t have to be

Outro
Ooh
It doesn’t have to be
Ooh
It doesn’t have to be
