You wanted me to be the one that you could turn to
The shelter from the rain, yeah
You wanted me to be the one that couldn't hurt you
Safe house from the pain, yeah
Pre-chorus
You wanted me to be the only one
You were counting on that
I'm sorry that i am just the way i am
And i left you standing
And i'm not a good man
And i don't do the right things
You want me to be somebody i'm not, oh
That's why the heroes fade so fast
You should have known
The good boys always finish last
You should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine
No more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast
Good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah
You always told me you appreciated my truth
You were loved and you hurted, yeah
And i'm showing if my honesty pains you
But you live and you learn, yeah
Pre-chorus
I wanted you to be the only one
And i was counting on that
And i'm sorry that i am just the way i am
And i left you standing
I've been wandering colder
What of the world on my shoulders?
You want me to be somebody i'm not, uh
That's why the heroes fade so fast
You should have known
The good boys always finish last
You should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine
No more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast
Good boys always finish last, ooh
Ooh yeah
Never gonna ever be somebody i am not, oh
Never gonna ever sever any time this way
Ay
You should have known
The good boys always finish last
You should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine
No more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast
Good boys always finish last
That's why the heroes fade so fast
You should have known
The good boys always finish last
You should have known
I was not yours, you were not mine
No more expectations
That's why the heroes fade so fast
Good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah
