Heroine

The first thing i remember you were walking away

You were singing something gentle in the fade

The next thing i remember i nearly pushed you off the stage

I pretended not to be afraid

I played the fool

I played the drowning man

I will play your *******

I know the rules

You wrote them on my veins

I will play your *******

I'm calling from the border of another nameless state

I am sitting on the steps of our mistake

I will bring you postcards of everything that's gray

I will draw your smile on my slate

I said i loved you

I said i needed you but baby i was wrong

Well that was sunday

And now it's Wednesday and i'm feeling strong

Memory's a lover trying to tell you thatshe's late

Memory's a silent second take

She will drink the poison if you put it in you cup

She will touch your eyes and never stop
