A Hero Loses Everyday - Silverstein

Hey!

I’ve lost everything.

Now I’ve gotta find a way out.

Hey!

They keep asking me where I was when it was burning

There’s no trying to explain.

They’ll lock me up again.

Throw away the key.

The protagonist became the villain they disdain in every way

Hey!

I’ve lost everything.

But I’m gonna find a way out.

Hey!

Nothing’s left for me expect malady and hatred

No evidence was found

They’ll let me go for now

At least 'til tomorrow

And Hey!

When tomorrow brings the morning sun again

I’ll be long gone

Now

As I drive away and leave the past behind

I think I’m dying.

It’s so pathetic

I hate you so much but I still miss you.

Karma is hard to change

When everything you do and say is awful

Remorse is hard to fake

When you only feel sorry for yourself

I’m coughing up more blood

It’s filling up my lungs.

It’s killing me.

Hey!

When tomorrow brings the morning sun again

I’ll be long gone.

(I'll be long gone)

Dead!

Lying all alone on this motel room floor

I know I’m dying

(I know I’m dying)

Hey!

(Hey!)

I’ve lost everything

Now!

(Now!)

I’ve succumbed to grace

Hey!

(Hey!)

It’s not that surprising

A hero loses everyday
