verse
Warm lights from the grand houses blind me
Haves cannot stand Have-nots
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground
I'll never be anybody's hero now
I'll never be anybody's hero now
And as far as I know I haven't even died
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground
I'll never be anybody's hero now
I'll never be anybody's hero now
chorus
I'll never be anybody's lover now
I'll never be anybody's lover now
Things I've heard and I've seen
And I've felt and I've been
Tell me I'll never be anybody's lover now
And it hurts when it's true
It only hurts because it's true
