The Heroes We Thought We Were Lyrics

I made you the villain of my tragic tale

The reason all of my dreams never prevailed

But really I was just like you in the end

In another world, we could've been friends

If you don't forgive me, that's more than fair

My judgment was clouded because I was scared

You signified my failure, my incompetence

But in another world, we could've been friends

I tried so hard to prove that we were different, but now history sees us both as the villains

It turns out that we were both one in the same

Betraying each other for something we'd never attain

Didn't intend to cause so much pain

But I'm here now

I would throw it all away

I am truly sorry, for what it's worth

Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were

I think that we would've been a good team

If only things had worked out differently

But that's in the past

The story's long over

The best thing that I can do is give you closure

I tried so hard to prove that we were different, but now history sees us both as the villains

It turns out that we were both one in the same

Betraying each other for something we'd never attain

Didn't intend to cause so much pain

But I'm here now

I would throw it all away

I am truly sorry, for what it's worth

Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were

Let's throw away all the pain that remains in this overgrown wreckage that we once called our legacy

And realistically, we can't change history, how I did certain things

But there's no harm in trying

Some scars won't fade away

Some things you can't change

If you're still mad that's, that's okay

I don't need you to like me

I'm sorry, for what it's worth

Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were

And realistically, we can't change history

We can't change history

Neither of us were the heroes that we thought we were
