[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
I'd save you from yourself
And sometimes I wish I could take somethin'
A little bit stronger to drown you out
Were you ever happy
Or did I read you all wrong?
Were you still in mending
While I left your lights on?
Lights on, lights on, lights on
[Chorus]
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind
I've been wastin' my mind
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
I'd save you from yourself
[Verse 2]
You're keeping a straight face
So what am I to do?
And when you look in the mirror
Am I still looking at you?
Taking my all, you were drowning us dead
'Cause ever since the fall you've been hidin' what you meant
And I wish I saw all the doubt that you felt
'Cause now you're out, now you're out
[Chorus]
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind
I've been wastin' my mind
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind
I've been wastin' my mind
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind
I've been wastin' my mind
All this time
I've been wastin' my mind
I've been wastin' my mind
[Outro]
Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
I'd save you from yourself
And sometimes I wish I could take something
A little bit stronger to drown you out

“Hero” took me probably about 3 hours.
