May Erlewine - Heroes Lyrics

Did you hear me calling in the night
You were lost on the other line
It must have taken 20 times to get through
You left a note on your door
Saying, love don't live here anymore
It wasn't love, I was looking for you

I know you're gonna carry that pain
On and on 'til judgement day
The more they give
The more you take
But will you take it to your grave?

Lift up your head
Don't go down like that
Even heroes have a lot to fear
I think it's brave
To live with your mistakes
To feel the weight of the years
To make the best while we're here

Did you hear me calling in the night
Checking in, are your alright?
I want to hear your voice to know the truth
You left a note on your door
Saying nothing's like it was before
But nothing ever was enough for you

I know you're gonna carry that pain
On and on 'til judgement day
The more they give
The more you'll take
But will you take it to your grave?

Lift up your head
Don't go down like that
Even heroes have a lot to fear
I think it's brave
To live with your mistakes
To feel the weight of the years
To make the best while we're here
