It was so easy to love younI knew it would end up so hardnSo difficult to leave younAnd the thought of nothing barrednBut still I wound up moving because I cannBecause it's never fast enoughnWhen you're in love with a rambling mannnYes moving ain't fast enoughnSo I packed my bags and rannRan into some new music and peoplenAnd places I've never beennThen I fell back in love with younAnd I was really unarmednJust wish you could have left menA little less harmednnYou don't want to be a heronBut you don't have much choicenYou've been a hero to menBefore I ever heard your voicennNow I really need protectionn'Cause my lover's ears are softnAnd close together, and hard of hearingnHe'll hear this song and he'll know all alongnThere was nothing he could donYeah, 'cause he'll never compare to younHeronnI'll take the kisses blown in the windnAnd the names you've given me for what I've beennBut I won't take any more picturesnSo that maybe you would seenWhat you were never meant to knownIt still feels like losing to mennYou don't want to be a heronBut you don't have much choicenYou've been a hero to menBefore I ever heard your voicennFeels like I lost the best friend I never hadnOr some other shade of truthnAll I know is I'll be first in line at the kissing booth
