Tegan and Sara - I'm Not Your Hero lyrics

Standing where I am now standing up at all
I was used to feeling
Like I was never going to see
Myself at the finish line
Hanging on to parts of me hanging on at all
I was used to seeing no
Future in my sight-line

Sometimes it feels like they
Want to remind me
Send all those villains after me

I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not
One and the same

Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall


I was used to standing
In the shadow of a damaged heart
Learning all I know now losing all I did
I never used to feel like I'd
Be standing so far ahead

Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
Sending your peaceful arms to me

I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not
One and the same

Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand
Holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm
All that they've got
Gets so hard to know I'm not what they want
Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand
Holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm
All that they've got
Gets so hard to know I'm not what they want

I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not
One and the same

Do my best to walk the finest line
Till I've had all that I can take
