Hero

Alicia stands behind me

Ties black ribbon in my hair

The sound of heavy boots

Slowly pounding up the stairs

The organ pours out slow and soothing

Old and rugged hymns

I long to find some comfort

But my sorrow won't give in

This is the coldest winter

In a thousand freezing years

And if I started crying

I could never stop the tears

Chorus:

You don't know what you've done

Not here to see the repercussions of your love

You don't know what you've done

You're not my hero anymore

Time is slowing down

Like a river clogged with mud

People gather round me

Some friends and others blood

The trumpeter starts playing taps

The soldiers fire their guns

The folding of the flag

Makes the tears come in a flood

(Chorus)

No one would say you were an easy man

No, you are hard and stubborn and vain

And I'm tired of being held back at arms length

Tired, tired

And something's gotta change

You don't know what you've done

I didn't break, no, I've grown strong

You don't know what you've done

You're not my hero

You're not my hero anymore

Anymore

Anymore

You're not my hero anymore

Not here to face the consequences of your love

You're not my hero anymore

Anymore

Anymore
