Faux Hero

Makeup running down my cheeks
But I've got a smile on
Looking like Harley Quinn
Feel like I'll drown
But being breathless brought me back to life

Knocked my king to save your queen
Now look where it got me
Sacrificed what I need for you to be happy
Gave you everything but lost my mind

It felt so right
But we didn't know, know
Which way to go half the time

You were the faux hero
Making me believe every lie you told
Set my world on fire just to save me, oh
How did I not see this coming?

Two fire signs
One love that burned
Woke up in the ashes
4 am, screaming 'How could I let this happen?'
Got your hands up so I'll take the blame

Brace myself for battle
Knowing this is a lost cause
Tear myself to pieces
For you, so you'll do no wrong
You let me fall
Made me believe I needed to be saved

You were the faux hero
Making me believe every lie you told
Set my world on fire just to save me, oh
How did I not see this coming, coming?
You were the faux hero
Twisted all my right moves into something wrong
You had me convinced you were the only one
Now I'm the lonely one
How did I not see this coming?

Fly away
Save the day
Leave me here in this hurricane
I kept watering the flowers
Even in the pouring rain

You were the faux hero
Caught between right and wrong
Told me to hold on
But then you let go
How did I not see this coming?

You were the faux hero
Making me believe every lie you told
Set my world on fire just to save me, oh
How did I not see this coming, coming?
You were the faux hero
Twisted all my right moves into something wrong
You had me convinced you were the only one
Now I'm the lonely one
How did I not see this coming?
