Heroes
Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
Every day, some severe event happens that causes destruction and chaos.

I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
Trying to seek guidance from incorrect or unhelpful sources.

But still want to laugh in disappointed faces
Despite feeling let down or dejected, there is still a desire to find humor or joy in life.

You can't help me
Feeling like nobody is able to provide the necessary assistance or support.

Blinded by these
Being unable to see clearly or make informed decisions due to outside distractions or influences.

Heroes and Thieves at my door
Feeling overwhelmed or confused by multiple people or groups, some of whom may be acting in deceitful or harmful ways.

I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Unable to distinguish between who is good and who is bad, who is there to help and who is there to harm.

Just when I've figured it out
When it seems like there is some clarity or understanding, things quickly become uncertain again.

Well darlin' it's you I'm without
Missing someone special and feeling incomplete without them, even after trying to move on.

Well I'm stubborn and wrong
Admitting to making mistakes and having a difficult personality, but being unwilling to change or accept help.

But at least I know it
Acknowledging one's flaws and limitations, even if it doesn't necessarily change anything.

Keep moving along until I can get through this
Continuing to persist in life, hoping things will eventually improve or become more manageable.

But maybe this song is the best I can do it
Perhaps expressing oneself through art or creativity is the most effective way to cope with challenges or emotions.

So I'm patiently waiting on these
Hoping for some kind of solution or resolution, but recognizing that it may take time or may not come at all.

Without your comforting logic
Feeling lost or confused without the guidance or support of a specific person.

Like these days are the ones I'll miss
Worrying that cherished moments or experiences will be gone forever, and that things will never be the same again.

And I see a solitude that I can't find without you
Realizing that one cannot achieve a sense of peace or comfort when alone, and that specific people are necessary for emotional stability.

Well, it seems like I'm getting closer somehow
Feeling like progress is being made in some way, even if it's not immediately clear how or why.

A flicker of peace that I've finally found
Discovering a moment of calm or relief after a difficult time.

Thank you for believing in me now
Feeling grateful for the support of others during hard times.

'Cause I do need it
Acknowledging that help and comfort are essential for getting through difficult times and moving forward.

Give me a year or two
Asking for time to work through challenges and make progress.

And I'll mend my ways and see these mistakes
Promising to learn from past mistakes and work to improve oneself in the future.

When I see the truth
Recognizing that clarity and understanding may only come in hindsight or after some distance from a situation.

Well, darlin' trust me
Assuring someone that they can have faith in one's intentions and abilities.

When I can't see
Admitting that there will be times where one is confused or uncertain, but still promising to find a way forward.

I'll be coming back, I'll be coming back to you
Inviting someone to be a source of support in future struggles or conflicts.
