Sometimes Your Heroes Let You Down

Well true love for me was a bitter pill
But I swallowed hard
And sat there soft and still
And every time I tried to trust someone
I would come undone
And I was theirs to kill

I'm gonna have to find my own way now

Well the kings and queens did not really know
But they acted like they belonged
So we went along with the show
But after some time I began to find the cracks
Where all the money goes
And what they sell as fact

And sometimes what's lost cannot be found
Sometimes your heroes let you down
When the lights come up
You'll see it for what it was
And we're gonna have to find our own way now

I bought a poster and I hung it up
I was a poser but I was close enough
And patched his name upon my jacket sleeve
Put all my faith in ideology

And sometimes what's lost cannot be found
Sometimes your heroes let you down
When the lights come up
You'll see it for what it was
And we're gonna have to find our own way now

And don't I wish that I was still a kid
And I did not learn about the things I did
'Cause weren't the curtains high on all things big
Ain't they coming down now

I guess nothing's how it seems
Sometimes your hero's just a dream
Once I heard the sound
So clear and quite profound
Once I held it in my hand and swore I'd never put it down
But when the lights come up
You'll see it for what it was
And we're gonna have to find our own way now
We're gonna have to find our own way now
