There's nothing you can do to take the pain away
You may find broken dreams are the price of the games we play
Closing the door, you hope the world will disappear
Then you open your eyes and you find everyone's still hereDon't you know? Weren't you told?
First they build you up just to knock you down
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Were you flying high just before the fall?Did they make you king just to take it all?
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Players only play till the curtain fallsHero, they couldn't let you go, there's no way out in time
They'd only let you grow to cut you down to size
No room for tears when you've gone down in history
No acclaim when your finest hour is just a memoryDon't you know? Weren't you told?
First they build you up just to knock you down
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Were you flying high just before the fall?Did they make you king just to take it all?
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Players only play till the curtain fallsHero, we can dream our dreams but who knows
If they'll fade away like heroesFirst they build you up just to knock you down
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Were you flying high just before the fall?Did they make you a king just to take it all?
Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday
Players only play till the curtain fallsWe all dream the dreams of heroes
We all dream the dreams of heroesHero
Hero
Hero
