Heroes and Heroin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never try to understand me
expectation make me old
hide your pennies in the sin?
some how I am supposed to know
the hardest thing to do
let it go
and i know we've been affected
perfected
the power to charm
did we serve to entertain
did we find someone to blame
what I said, what I did
we're not the same
(chorus)
oh I am breathing (I am breathing)
oh I am leaving in the morning
maybe you can think about it when I'm gone
could we lie behind the fables
heroes and heroin
the wait here is far too much
to be worth so little
but will she come and stay with me
(chorus)
did we serve to entertain
did we find someone to blame
was it something in your head
was it something in your name?
give me something I can hold
I can try my best to help you
if you never let me down, oh
never try to understand her
heroes and heroin
are very unforgiving
do the things that you think you should
to let you know you're alive
you are young you are beautiful
(chorus)
oh I am breathing (I am beathing)
oh I am leaving in morning
maybe you can think about it when I go
