you were the girl i planned to share my love with
but you came in strongly with your ships and planes and took me down
and i went in quietly, you had me strapped that you would promise me honestly

and like clock ridden hands come around

but you'll be captive in this town and i'll be back on the road

if you wanna hear us out then let it ride, let it ride

let it ride

but baby i got heart, and so much more in this life
we could never quite get it right
and baby i'm your heart, i'm looking out from inside

and i could never quite give you
what you need what you want
you can take what you get but it just won't amount to much i'm sure


i guess this boy isn't meant for loving after all
oh after all..


i put myself in between trees and then i hadn't seen that apathy would conquer me
as i thought all the buzz was fake

but you proved me wrong right from the start
well i've been getting so much smarter
and yeah some nights you were worth the mistake


now you can call me from the town and i could tell you about the road
no i don't wanna hear you out, let it die, let it die


let it die
cause baby i got heart, so much more in this life

and we could never quite get it right
and baby i'm your heart, i'm looking out from inside
and i will never ever give you what you need what you want

you can take what you get but it just won't amount to much i'm sure

i guess this girl is not for loving after all

after all..

but you know, you're my hero

yeah yeah
cause despite your indiscretions, i'm a ten times better man
and you know that you're my hero

cause you saved me from the next one and her not so secret hand
yeah you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
cause somehow you had me try to break my back and give you what you need what you want

you can take what you get but it just won't amount to much i know

what you need what you want

you can take what you get but it just won't amount to much i know

what you need what you want

you can take what you get but it just won't amount to much
i'm sure


yeah you know you're my hero
cause i know now, i know some girls aren't mean for loving after all
