Tired (of Being Your Hero)
words & music by Brian E. Langston
Tonight my hands are nailed to your wall I couldn’t even save you if I wanted to You keep diving in looking for another chance to win God how I wish that I could hold you under Tonight I feel I’m about to scream I know you don’t even see me standing here I’m not your crucifix I’m not the one to fix All the complications of your fear I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (to take your hand) I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (to make you stand) I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (that grabs you when you fall) Tired of picking up the pieces (when you come undone) Tired of being your shooting star (your only sun) Tonight your eyes are mirrors shattered to your soul Reflecting nothing but the dead and empty night I’m not your torch your beast of burden your Lucifer I’m not the bearer of your unholy light I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (to take your hand) I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (to make you stand) I’m tired of being your hero Tired of being the one (that grabs you when you fall) Tired of picking up the pieces (when you come undone) Tired of being your shooting star (your only sun) So you keep crashing in trying to keep alive just Wanting to survive I hold the string That keeps us together I can’t hold on forever but if I Let go I know you'll come undone I know you'll come undone
