"The Hero Or The Villain" lyrics
From the days when we were kids
So young and so naive
We hit the road we felt a calling
No chance but just a dream
So many of the moments
Were destined to exceed
Yet nothing is just given
We built the ground beneath our feet
I guess there's just some things we swore we'd never be
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive, we must fight to stay alive
We never asked to be mistaken
It's not we meant to be
Just shy and independent of our life at 17
We never came unbroken
We failed to fit the scene
We chose to make a difference
Can't stay stuck on 23
I guess there's just some things we swore we'd never be
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive
And when it's over we can hold our heads up high
Another minute for a chance to sing tonight
I'm counting up all of the moments that we tried
We'll share a toast, we'll raise our glasses to the sky
And I will always be the soundtrack to your life
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive, we must fight to stay alive
And when it's over we can hold our heads up high
Another minute for a chance to sing tonight
I'm counting up all of the moments that we tried
We'll share a toast, we'll raise our glasses to the sky
And I will always be the soundtrack to your life
So young and so naive
We hit the road we felt a calling
No chance but just a dream
So many of the moments
Were destined to exceed
Yet nothing is just given
We built the ground beneath our feet
I guess there's just some things we swore we'd never be
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive, we must fight to stay alive
We never asked to be mistaken
It's not we meant to be
Just shy and independent of our life at 17
We never came unbroken
We failed to fit the scene
We chose to make a difference
Can't stay stuck on 23
I guess there's just some things we swore we'd never be
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive
And when it's over we can hold our heads up high
Another minute for a chance to sing tonight
I'm counting up all of the moments that we tried
We'll share a toast, we'll raise our glasses to the sky
And I will always be the soundtrack to your life
No one can break me down this time
Not here to let you take what's mine
I built these walls with steady hands
Your voices echo through the night
Don't need your help I'm doing fine
Gave us a chance to save your life
Don't ever question if the message sent
We're fighting to survive, we must fight to stay alive
And when it's over we can hold our heads up high
Another minute for a chance to sing tonight
I'm counting up all of the moments that we tried
We'll share a toast, we'll raise our glasses to the sky
And I will always be the soundtrack to your life
