Stuck
Yesterdays Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your life is being torn away.
I know you had a special future, but now you're just a loser.
You could have been the best, but now you're just like the rest.
Take a good look I know it's not fair but your not going anywhere.
Don't give up, don't give up on yourself.
Don't give up. Don't give up.
He'll be there for you whenever you need
It came so fast it hit you so hard, all these lies are tearing you apart.
I can't believe all the choices you made looks to me like you are going to fade.
I don't know if it's because you are made.
All I know is that you have been had,
you try to keep your head above the ground when it is obvious your going down.
