Heroes We Were - Andy Black

When we were young we knew everything

Drank from our innocence

Taught us to beg with our words

As we grow tired and jaded

The colors all faded

Fire would no longer burn

All the anger and hunger

That shapes our desires

Hanging to hope by a string

Never had thoughts of the future

Knew we’d never get back

We are the kings of our dreams

All the best laid plans

Slipped through my hands

You know we can run 'til the day that we’re dead

Or stay here and fight and pretend we’re not scared

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf

Fall on our knees if that’s all we’ve got left

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes we were?

Empires have fallen and joy can be stolen

When things are much worse than you think (Worse than you think)

The streets all have broken, my memory holding

Onto the songs that we’d sing

We started with something

But ended with nothing

Losing but praying to win (Praying to win)

Let go as we’re falling

I can’t hear them calling

Give in to all of our sins

All the best laid plans

Slipped through my hands

You know we can run 'til the day that we’re dead

Or stay here and fight and pretend we’re not scared

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf

Fall on our knees if that’s all we’ve got left

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes we were?

When the future’s ending

They will bleed you empty

Don’t let me down, don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Yeah, we could make it back then

Though all we have is nowhere

Turn it around, turn it around

Turn it around

No one can find us when time has escaped us

How did we fall through the cracks?

It’s empty out here

Where the world disappears

One day we’ll find our way back

You know we can run 'til the day that we’re dead

Or stay here and fight and pretend we’re not scared

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf

Fall on our knees if that’s all we’ve got left

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes we were?

Can we

Save this

And bring us back to the heroes

Back to the heroes we were?
