Lyrics Tegan and Sara - I'm Not Your Hero

Standing where I am now
standing up at all
I was used to feeling like
I was never gonna see myself
at the finish line
Hanging on to parts of me
Hanging on at all
I was used to seeing no future in my sighted-line
Sometimes it feels
like they wanna remind me
send all those feelings out to me
I’m not their hero, but that doesn’t mean
that I wasn’t brave
I never walked the party, but that doesn’t mean
that I was never afraid
I’m not your hero, but that doesn’t mean
we’re not one and the same
Feeling like I am now
Lighting up a home
I was used to standing in the shadow
of a damaged heart
Learning all I know now
Losing all I did
I never used to feel like I’d be standing so far ahead
Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
sending your peaceful loss to me
I’m not their hero but that doesn’t mean
that I wasn’t brave (oh-oh-oh)
I never walked the party, but that doesn’t mean
that I was never afraid
I’m not your hero but that doesn’t mean
We’re not one and the same
Sometimes it feels like the side that I’m on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I’m all that they’ve got
It’s so hard to know I’m not what they want
Sometimes it feels like the side that I’m on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I’m all that they’ve got
It’s so hard to know I’m not what they want
I’m not their hero but that doesn’t mean
that I wasn’t brave (oh-oh-oh)
I never walk the party, but that doesn’t mean
That I was never afraid (oh-oh-oh)
I’m not your hero but that doesn’t mean
We’re not one and the same (oh-oh-oh)
I do my best to walk the finest line till I’ve had it
‘Til I’m dead.
