The Hero That Got Away

I never thought nostalgia could ever hurt this much
it's burning through my veins
and busting out through holes found in my guts
so comfort my affliction, I'm hoping that the light we share between our eyes
is helping yours and burning straight through mine
So walk alone tonight, watching angels cry
I let you know that I was wrong for you
it's me or something else
And Careful what you say, still hoping for the day
to come around where you thank me for the pain I didn't cause
So what's left to say? I'm running out of lines to give
excuses to mend, the reasons that I know you'll never find
can we please let this one under my skin?
I promised myself I would never let you down again
So walk alone tonight, watching angels cry
I let you know that I was wrong for you
it's me or something else
And Careful what you say, still hoping for the day
to come around where you thank me for the pain I didn't cause
Excuses only break the feelings that I fake
I hope that I can mend you always
I'm the hero that got away
