Joey Hines - Never Meet Your Heroes Lyrics

Took the night train out of town
You went where you could not be found
You meditated for one hundred years
A life dictated by your wildest fears
Tie me up and tie me down
You know I love being pulled around
You spat casual cruelty as you smiled
How could you think those things about a child
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Color me in disbelief
You always were a charming thief
You took whatever you could lay hands on
You said no one will ever know it's gone
I held you in the highest regard
You broke my heart and broke it hard
You imagine my surprise when suddenly
The victim of your noble crime was me
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Should I look more deeply
Is it right to try to learn to love your flaws
What are the limits of forgiveness
Should I permit you to heal the pain you caused
You held me in your deepest heart
You never could tell us apart
You traverse the distance of a galaxy
The black hole's mouth is just a map to me
Tell me how your love song goes
You look so silly in your clothes
You never will have to pretend again
Forget about the people you have been
And never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Never meet your heroes, baby
Never meet your heroes
Should I look more deeply
Is it right to try to learn to love my flaws
What are the limits of forgiveness
Could I ever heal the pain I caused
