"Heroes" lyrics

I said I would give you the moon and the stars
A perfect lie ticking with time, you know it's what we are
As long as we're burning, we exist
Let's keep the world turning, just for kicks
'Cause we won't know how good it is, until it's gone

We used to see heroes, you and I
When we looked into each other's eyes
And everything we were was everything right
Such a simple kinda magic
So I just don't understand it
How things can change in so little time
We used to see heroes, you and I
When we looked into each other's eyes

You said we're splitting the atom according to plan
Exploding through the city tonight, we were full of it
We were bursting at the seams
Just two reckless libertines
Do we ever live the dream, before it's gone?

We used to see heroes, every time
When we looked into each other's eyes
The beat of your heart now the echo in mine
Such a simple kinda magic
So I just don't understand it
How things can change in so little time
We used to see heroes, you and I
When we looked into each other's eyes

In spite of everything you said, I'm breaking it off
In spite of everything you said, I'm breaking it...
I won't stop till it's over
Took the bottle and tasted, then lost self-control
Now we're disintegrating, we're shattering
All we had, in a moment

We used to see heroes, every time
When we looked into each other's eyes
We used to see heroes, you and I
