lyrics

Verse: Look back, breath in, memory fades in
So long, she said, I just feel dead
There's no doubt, I cannot scream inside
Sorrow reminds me, I should not have lied

Chorus: I can be the hero, the martyr and the thief
The more it's played out, the harder it's to believe
Reach down, and gather all the lies
Open up your arms and look me in the eyes

Verse: You left me crushed, was it your fault or mine?
There's nothing left to say this time
So much voice, but yet there is no sound
What we had has never been found

Chorus: I can be the hero, the martyr and the thief
The more it's played out, the harder it's to believe
Reach down, and gather all the lies
Open up your arms and look me in the eyes
