Well true love for me was a bitter pill

But I swallowed hard

And sat there soft and still

And every time I tried to trust someone
I would come undone

And I was theirs to kill



I'm gonna have to find my own way now



Well the kings and queens did not really know

But they acted like they belonged

So we went along with the show

But after some time I began to find the cracks

Where all the money goes

And what they sell as fact



And sometimes what's lost cannot be found

Sometimes your heroes let you down

When the lights come up

You'll see it for what it was

And we're gonna have to find our own way now



I bought a poster and I hung it up

I was a poser but I was close enough

And patched his name upon my jacket sleeve

Put all my faith in ideology



And sometimes what's lost cannot be found

Sometimes your heroes let you down

When the lights come up

You'll see it for what it was

And we're gonna have to find our own way now



And don't I wish that I was still a kid

And I did not learn about the things I did

'Cause weren't the curtains high on all things big

Ain't they coming down now



I guess nothing's how it seems

Sometimes your hero's just a dream

Once I heard the sound

So clear and quite profound

Once I held it in my hand and swore I'd never put it down

But when the lights come up

You'll see it for what it was

And we're gonna have to find our own way now

We're gonna have to find our own way now
