Live at the Annex, Bar Harbor, Maine, August 3, 2023
lyrics
Once you were a star in my eyes,
That only lasts ‘til someone dies,
Maybe the law lets you hide from the truth,
Someday maybe you’ll pay your dues.
Was it me, was it everyone,
One of the many hearts you’ve won.
Now the world is closer to zero,
As we count our fallen heroes.
The bloody glove and the matching shoes,
Outrun those with your flashy moves,
Idolized for all these years,
What you bring now are those burning tears.
Was it me, was it everyone,
One of the many hearts you’ve won.
Now the world is closer to zero,
As we count our fallen heroes.
You had then what we all desire,
We didn’t know that you were a liar,
Hero to the world it seemed,
What we know now we could have never dreamed.
Was it me, was it everyone,
One of the many hearts you’ve won.
Now the world is closer to zero,
As we count our fallen heroes.
