Alice Merton - Hero lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story I'd save you from yourself And sometimes I wish I could take somethin' A little bit stronger to drown you out Were you ever happy Or did I read you all wrong? Were you still in mending While I left your lights on? Lights on, lights on, lights on [Chorus] All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind [Post-Chorus] Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story I'd save you from yourself [Verse 2] You're keeping a straight face So what am I to do? And when you look in the mirror Am I still looking at you? Taking my all, you were drowning us dead 'Cause ever since the fall you've been hidin' what you meant And I wish I saw all the doubt that you felt 'Cause now you're out, now you're out [Chorus] All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind All this time I've been wastin' my mind I've been wastin' my mind [Outro] Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story I'd save you from yourself And sometimes I wish I could take something A little bit stronger to drown you out
