Heroes
All Time Low Lyrics

Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
I won't be mourning your absence or reminiscing your presence.

Not gonna talk about you over and over and over
I won't keep discussing you and regurgitating the same old stories.

Not gonna find you under latest nostalgia, not happily ever after
I won't look for comfort in memories of you or pretend like things were perfect.

Not gonna listen 'til you play that song (play that song)
I won't pay attention to you unless you captivate me with something meaningful.

Don't wanna think about you over and over and over
I don't want my thoughts to be consumed by you and your wrongdoings.

Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trendy blog
I won't indulge in your superficial interests or follow your fleeting trends.

I want nothin' to do with that
I want to distance myself from your toxic influence and lifestyle.

'Cause you've made a mess of everything
Your actions have caused chaos and damage in your life and in those around you.

(And I'm not listening)
I won't pay attention to your excuses or reasons for your behavior.

You're not a hero, you're a liar
You're not a role model or admirable person, you're a dishonest and deceitful individual.

You're not a savior, you're a vampire
You don't save or help anyone, you drain people's energy and joy.

Sucking the life out of all the friends you've ever known
You take advantage of the people close to you, leaving them feeling depleted and used.

You're just a train wreck, not a winner
Your life is in shambles, you're not successful or celebrated.

Up on your soap box preaching down to the sinners
You think you're better than others and are quick to judge and criticize them.

The saints without a cause, we're not listening, we're not listening
You pretend to be virtuous, but we're not fooled and won't heed your words.

I'm gonna a start a revolution
I'm going to initiate change and fight against the status quo.

Of convoluted disillusion
Of a confusing and disorienting mindstate.

(Start a revolution)
(Initiate change)

I'll need a war with no conclusion
I'll require a fight that doesn't end, a never-ending battle.

And in the final hour I'll be a confident coward
At the most critical moment, I'll be brave enough to retreat.

'Cause if we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything
If we don't have a purpose or beliefs, we're vulnerable to being swayed and deceived.

Now this is moving in the same direction
Things are heading towards the same outcome.

But I'm a little too spent to care
I'm exhausted and drained, and can't find the energy to care anymore.

'Cause it's a battlefield 'til it blows over
It's a constant fight until a resolution is achieved.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
Stay close to those you trust, but be mindful of those who may cause harm.

The time is now 'til we live and pass out, singin'
We have to make the most of our time and live fully, even if we'll eventually perish.

We talk shit like it's a cross to bare
We complain excessively and treat minor issues as major burdens.

You're only relevant 'til you get older
Your popularity only lasts until you become outdated or less relevant.

They're gonna miss me when I'm dead and gone
People will realize my value and contribution after I'm gone.

They're gonna talk about me over and over and over
People will keep telling stories and memories of me.

They're gonna find me under latest nostalgia, happily ever after
People will remember me fondly and associate me with positive memories.

But I'm not a hero, I'm a liar
I'm not a role model or admirable person, I've made mistakes and deceived people.

I'm not a savior, I'm a vampire
I don't save or help anyone, I take from others and drain their energy.

Sucking the life out of all the friends I've ever known
I've taken advantage of my loved ones, leaving them feeling depleted and used.

We're a train wreck, not winners
Our lives are in shambles, we're not successful or celebrated.

On a soap box preaching down to the sinners
We think we're better than others and are quick to judge and criticize them.

The saints without a cause, we're not listening, we're not listening
We pretend to be virtuous, but we're not fooled and won't heed our own words.

We're not listening, we're not listening
We're not taking heed of our own shortcomings or of those around us.
