Everybody loves you and they want to know your story
You go riding out a mystery, concealed in all your glory
But when it comes to flesh and bones, you remind me of shallot
Only made of shadows even though you're not
I remember how I spent all my energy and time
With affected conversation I was trying to pry inside your mind
You are as beautiful as truth and as empty as a shell
But I came to you one night and it made me feel like hell
Oh, to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool
Left me a fool
Everybody loves a hero, an image to create
Antithesis of everything, inside ourselves we hate
But you'd better close your eyes when it's time for them to die
Because you'd hate to think the life you'd built upon them was a lie
Oh, to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool
Left me a fool
I resign myself to silence, I will never blow your cover
No one ever has to know who the hero took for lover
But it comes to mind as you blaze on as brilliant as a star
How many you've left behind?
How many casualties there are?
Oh, to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool
Left me a fool
