I’ll Never Be

[Verse 1:]
I had the perfect alibi
I figured out just how to tell a lie
It wasn't my intention to make you cry
But I'll take you there, I don't even care
You say my heart is cold
I wasn't always this way
I wasn't always this way
But right now I just have to go
Wish that I could stay
I wish that I could stay

[Hook:]
I'll never be
I'll never be
The hero you think I am
No, I can't be that man
I'll never be
I'll never be
The saviour you're looking for
Wish I could give you more

[Verse 2:]
Your back up on your own
And you sleep by the phone
When you expect my call
The phone won't ring at all
Because I'm on the floor
Didn't expect it to be so far
The world's infatuated with me
Calling me a star
No matter where I am
Wish you could be around me
But can we really guarantee
We'll see another day
I know this isn't perfect
But what on this earth is? (Come on)

[Hook:]

[Verse 3:]
When I came back on the radar
I gave you my oath
Just like I'm on trial
So take me off the pedestal
You can't deny
That no vision's just eye for an eye
What we used to have, yeah
Used to inspire
Whether it was short-term or for a while
I know why you're mine
We carry too much luggage but we never fly
Take the shit out the overhead bin
Roll with the punches, I take it on the chin
