Hero - Kate Earl

Alycia stands behind me, ties black ribbon in my hair

The sound of heavy boots is slowly pounding up the stairs

The organ pours out slow and soothing old and rugged hymns

I long to find some comfort but my sorrow won’t give in

This is the coldest winter in a thousand freezing years

And if I started crying, I could never stop the tears

You don’t know what you’ve done

Not here to see the repercussions of your love

You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero anymore

Times is slowing down like a river clogged with mud

People gather 'round me, some friends and other’s blood

The trumpeter stars playing Taps, the soldiers fire their guns

The folding of the flag makes the tears come in a flood

You don’t know what you’ve done

Not here to see the repercussions of your love

You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero anymore

No one would say you were an easy man

No you were hard and stubborn and plain

And I’m tired of being held back at arm’s length

Tired, tired and something’s gotta change

You don’t know what you’ve done

I didn’t break, no I’ve grown strong

You don’t know what you’ve done, you’re not my hero

You’re not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore

You’re not my hero anymore

Not here to see the repercussions of your love

You’re not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore
