I gave my heart yeah to a goddess
With hands of tempered gold
Delicate in all my process
In my hold a precious stone
Built a future on my shoulders
Guess you weren't in the know
Custom pithos left to smolder
Fan the flames they're getting cold
I don't wanna be the one to follow
I don't wanna be the one to lead
I don't wanna be the one forgotten
Wish to be the only one you see
I don't know what the future holds
But i know what it could be
Local legends made me bold
But an us is mythology
Can't be someone else
Ooh
Can only be myself
Ooh
Can't stay and wait for us
Ooh
May be pretty as Aphrodite
But I'm not Hephaestus
That smile holds the key to heaven
So I'll stay here on the ground
Heavy heart yeah can't relieve the tension
I guess I'll see you around
I know she got eyes like starlight
Deeper than the open sea
But I know that she made her choice
And it wasn't me
I don't wanna be the one to follow
I don't wanna be the one to lead
I don't think I've ever felt so hollow
Doing something that I know I need
Know I've gotta let my heart go, her
Smile was never meant for me
And even if my love only grows
I need her to see, that
Can't be someone else
Ooh
Can only be myself
Ooh
Can't stay and wait for us
Ooh
May be pretty as Aphrodite
But I'm not Hephaestus
Can't be someone else
And I wouldn't wanna be
Can only be myself
And that's enough for me
Can't stay wait for us
Even if it hurts to leave
I can't be your Hephaestus,
Just want you to be happy
Can't be someone else
Ooh
Can only be myself
Ooh
Can't stay and wait for us
Ooh
May be pretty as Aphrodite
But I'm not Hephaestus
