Absolute Hero – Placebo lyrics

I was never perfect.
But I said I'd give the world to you.
I'd help you through it.
You took my heart and,
I found defeat when
I showed you stars, you showed me who you are.

What came after this?
Drunken nights I could not sleep.
And you lived happily.
With your ever after.

I've been wasting time,
Losing sleep.
Just for you to leave a hole in me,
Invade my dreams.
I should’ve known I was wasting my breath.
After you I had nothing left of me.
I broke my bones on you.

You seemed so perfect,
Until I could see all the flaws in you.
I let you through these walls.
I have to admit,
We're more like fire and rain
Mixing in my head,
You burn, I'll extinguish.

How could I have known
That you could be so cold?
And I hope you know,
That I still live through it.

I've been wasting time,
Losing sleep.
Just for you to leave a hole in me,
Invade my dreams.
I should’ve known I was wasting my breath.
After you I had nothing left of me.
I broke my bones on you.

Close your heart eyes now.
There's no turning back.

I'll set your world on fire.

I've been wasting time,
Losing sleep.
Just for you to leave a hole in me,
Invade my dreams.
I should’ve known I was wasting my breath.
After you I had nothing left of me.
I broke my bones on you.
(I overdosed on you.)
