Let's pretend that we all know
why heroes come and heroes go
The storybooks are full of lies
'cause here the hero is first to die

Everyone who's close to me
becomes a faded memory
It may be selfish but it hurts
'cause now I wish that I was first

Nothing's at it seems
Lost here in between
funerals and dreams

Wise men make mistakes
Givers always take
Lovers learn to hate

Everyone I know is dead or dying
Everyone I know is dead or dying
Everyone I love is dead or dying now
(dying now)

The cross keeps falling from the ceiling
I must have hurt my angel's feelings
My only wish never came true
I begged for me, she still took you
