Heroes We Were

When we were young we knew everything Strength from our innocence Taught us to paint with our words As we grew tired and jaded The colors are faded Fire would no longer burn All of the anger and hunger The shapes and desires Hanging to hope by a string Never had doubts of the future Knew we'd never get there We are the kings of our dreams All the best laid plans Slipped through my hands You know we can run till the day that we're dead Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared Can we make it back to the heroes we were? 'Cause we can scream till the world has gone deaf Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left Can we make it back to the heroes we were? Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes we were Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes we were Empires have fallen and joy can be stolen When things are much worse than you think The strings all have broken, my memory holding On to the songs that we sing We started with something But ended with nothing Losing but praying to win Let go as we're falling I can't hear them calling Give in to all of our sins All the best laid plans Slipped through my hands You know we can run till the day that we're dead Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared Can we make it back to the heroes we were? 'Cause we can scream till the world has gone deaf Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left Can we make it back to the heroes we were? Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes we were Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes we were When the future's ending They will bleed you empty Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Yeah we could make it back then Though all we have is nowhere Turn it around Turn it around Turn it around No one can find us when time has escaped us How did we fall through the cracks? It's empty out here where the world disappears One day we'll find our way back You know we can run till the day that we're dead Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared Can we make it back to the heroes we were? 'Cause we can scream till the world has gone deaf Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left Can we make it back to the heroes we were? Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes we were Can we save this? And bring us back to the heroes... Back to the heroes we were
