Fragile Heroes Songtext
von Light This City

I always wanted to tell you I needed you
But now I′m glad that I never did
Because I never lied about that at least
It probably would have scared you, anyway
One more excuse for you to run away
And it scares me that you're so easily scared
What falsity did I lead my heart into this time
Unfailingly nave
Maybe I just fell in love with being the dream


Ugh
More and more
I find I don′t want you
Shit, another lie
Tried to deceive myself
It's not easy
It's just pathetic
Well
They say we don′t need anyone at least
Ugh
You don′t know
You never know
And your uncertainty is infecting me
Because now even I'm not sure
Do I hate you for not being who I thought you were
Or do I hate myself for loving one I′ve just created

Didn't you know
A hero′s a most fragile thing
One must never get close
Enough to touch
Or fuck
For mortality can also be transmitted
And with even a brush against our blemished human skin
Slick with impious fluids
Their skin becomes dry and cracked
And holes form inside their perfect characters
I guess now I can understand being let down
By an ideal


When heroes turn to cowards
You start to resent your dreams
You once glanced up into their brave
Bright faces
Now you can't even meet their dull
Downward turned eyes
Plagued with constant failure
The only thing they will ever succeed in is disappointing
It′s so easy
It's so pathetic
And so they stop trying
And never give you the chance
That was their promise to you
Implied all
