"NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES" lyrics
Now well I might make a little more sense
If it wasn't you who was tying my hands
Behind my back
What is that?
And in times I could give you two cents
But would it really make a big difference
If I died tomorrow?
Even though I get scared
I continue to be there
Holding your picnic basket
While you're laying out snacks for the masses
In light and in dark
Yeah you sure left a mark
On my heart
Just to call it art
Now I can touch the water, but it's too cold to get in
How did you make me jump in and swim?
No. You're leaving me here with a word in your mouth
And a two-faced grin
I'm still out here treading water, while the love went in
Ah, ah, ah
Is it really what you wanted?
And I, I, I
Yeah you really wanna pause it, stop it, sit back and watch it
So, now you're
Facedown in the bathroom
So scared that you can't move
I know how you feel so
I'm sure you're gonna be alright
But you can't
Just accept that it's gon' pass
Coolin' off but it won't last
I know how it goes when
Every day it feels like you're gonna die
Started to take meds when
You had that last panic attack
Now you're feelin' better
But I want my best friend back
Something ain't the same
And I know that this might sound bad
But I think I liked you better
When your only drug was laughin'
People change in an instant
They start seein' you different
One day you're chilling
Then they start to get distant
That's why they tell you never meet your heroes
We was just children
Can't believe that they let us in the building
And rest in peace to the boys in Brockhampton
I remember when we met Kevin
Romil was dying laughin'
'Cause I just fully froze up
I couldn't believe it was happenin'
All our dreams that we had
That shit was manifestin'
In this industry they gon' cheat on ya like Pete Rose
They just bettin' on ya like Zac Efron
At the golf course
And you gon' cook 'em food
And they'll tell you it made 'em choke
But they took hair off their head and placed it in the bowl
And so you feed 'em for free
Until you get that Grammy
We tryna make anthems
Ain't involving no dances
And it's ironic that hindsight is 20/20
'Cause we signed a bad deal in the fucking pandemic
People change
People change
People change
People change
So, now you're
Facedown in the bathroom
So scared that you can't move
I know how you feel so
I'm sure you're gonna be alright
But you can't
Just accept that it's gon' pass
Coolin' off but it won't last
I know how it goes when
Every day it feels like you're gonna die
Adam's movin' to Virginia
Startin' his own life
Met a girl at school he wants to
Make his wife
Say goodbye to all the buildings
Say hello to skies and sunshine
Movin' out the city
One last time
But it's been a long five years
A long five years
Without you
But it's been a long five years
A long five years
Without you
Since everybody left
It ain't felt right
[?]
Lose my mind
Talk to people out of love
They ask me where I'm from
And I tell them I grew up
Like right around the block
And they don't believe me anyway
So you gotta come back
So we can all get together
We can throw a reunion
Invite the whole crew and
But then you didn't, didn't, didn't include me
Ah, ah
Isn't it obvious
Life goes on without you
Isn't it obvious
When you die it all goes dark
So I'm gonna treat you like it's done
In my heart
'Cause why should I miss you when I have you
In my arms
If it wasn't you who was tying my hands
Behind my back
What is that?
And in times I could give you two cents
But would it really make a big difference
If I died tomorrow?
Even though I get scared
I continue to be there
Holding your picnic basket
While you're laying out snacks for the masses
In light and in dark
Yeah you sure left a mark
On my heart
Just to call it art
Now I can touch the water, but it's too cold to get in
