Highland Kites - Not Your Hero Lyrics

How strange it was when you took the weight off my shoulders
I'd been holding it faithfully for you for so long
"Stop shaking" you said, "you're breaking for me, take a deep breath, give in carefully
You're not some hero and no it's not your fault"

Not your hero, not your hero
Just a human, just a human
Can you forgive it
Will you forgive me now?

"It's time to give up" those words they burned in my brain
So many years later they still drove me insane
It's why I slowly gave in I packed my things
Slowly changed the way I think
I didn't believe when you said I was lost

I was not your hero, not your hero
Just a human, just a human
Can you forgive it, will you forgive me now?
Not your hero, not your hero
Just a human, just a human
Can you forgive it? Will you forgive it now?

The end of our story was a line on a page that said
"You've lost it, please don't stay. It hurts me to see you, to see you this way
So run, before the world takes you away"

I was not your hero, not your hero
Just a human, just a human
Can you forgive it, will you forgive me now?
Not your hero, not your hero
Just a human, just a human
Oh how I loved you
I still love you now
