Until the day she told me
That I could be somebody
I was a shell of lost thing
Under an ocean we lay
Another violent escape
I was not right
And when did you say "I don"t need your hand on mine this time"
(Chorus)
And I"m not a hero get it
You"re not hopeless case
I"m not a hero get it, yeah
And I"m not a hero get it
And you don"t deserve this place
I"m not a hero get it, yeah
-
Onto an island we sailed
Broken and lost and so pale
I was a drowned dog, a dead weight, oh
And you had shivered all night
Your eyes were angry and bright
I could not fight
(Chorus)
And it"s not that hard to explain why you"re cold in the middle now
And it"s not that hard to open eyes that closed when they couldn"t love
And it"s not that hard to wake you up
That I could be somebody
I was a shell of lost thing
Under an ocean we lay
Another violent escape
I was not right
And when did you say "I don"t need your hand on mine this time"
(Chorus)
And I"m not a hero get it
You"re not hopeless case
I"m not a hero get it, yeah
And I"m not a hero get it
And you don"t deserve this place
I"m not a hero get it, yeah

Onto an island we sailed
Broken and lost and so pale
I was a drowned dog, a dead weight, oh
And you had shivered all night
Your eyes were angry and bright

And it"s not that hard to explain why you"re cold in the middle now
And it"s not that hard to open eyes that closed when they couldn"t love
And it"s not that hard to wake you up
