verse 1 You wanted me to be the one that you could turn to The shelter from the rain, yeah You wanted me to be the one that couldn't hurt you Safe house from the pain, yeah Pre-Chorus You wanted me to be the only one You were counting on that I'm sorry that I am just the way I am And I left you standing And I'm not a good man And I don't do the right things You want me to be somebody I'm not, oh That's why the heroes fade so fast You should have known The good boys always finish last You should have known I was not yours, you were not mine No more expectations That's why the heroes fade so fast good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah verse 2 You always told me you appreciated my truth You were loved and you hurted, yeah And I'm showing if my honesty pains you But you live and you learn, yeah Pre-Chorus I wanted you to be the only one And I was counting on that And I'm sorry that I am just the way I am And I left you standing I've been wandering colder What of the world on my shoulders? You want me to be somebody I'm not, uh That's why the heroes fade so fast You should have known The good boys always finish last You should have known I was not yours, you were not mine No more expectations That's why the heroes fade so fast good boys always finish last, ooh ooh yeah Bridge Never gonna ever be somebody I am not, oh Never gonna ever sever any time this way Ay You should have known The good boys always finish last You should have known I was not yours, you were not mine No more expectations That's why the heroes fade so fast good boys always finish last That's why the heroes fade so fast You should have known The good boys always finish last You should have known I was not yours, you were not mine No more expectations That's why the heroes fade so fast good boys always finish last, last, last, oh yeah
