Slip out the back before they know you were there, and
At the worst you'll see nobody cares (cares)
'Cause you don't wanna be around when it all
goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared (scared)
Now, I don't remember where I
met him
Or remember his name
But he walked funny like he was just too big for his frame
Just
over five foot, but he weighed a buck fifty
And what he said seemed so right it stuck with me, listen
It's like poker, you can play your best
But you gotta know when to fold your cards and take
a rest
And know when to hold your cards, hold your breath and
Hope that nobody else is stacking the deck, because
I
don't need to tell you that life isnt fair
It doesn't care
It arbitrarily cuts off your air
And like you, I want someone to say it's okay
In the truest part of our hearts everybody's
afraid, we're just
Underappreciated and overwhelmed
Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves
You
understand when I'm saying, 'cause you always did
But it's different in the words of a cowardly kid
Slip out the back before they know you were there, and
At the worst you'll see nobody cares (cares)
'Cause you don't wanna be around when it all
goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared (scared)Slip out the back before they know you were there, and
At the worst you'll see nobody cares (cares)
'Cause you don't wanna be around when it all
goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared (scared)
And I'm no hero
You remember how it was, you know
All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control
To the point
where everything was going end over end
I'm spinning around in circles again
This is where you come in
All of this
to explain to you why I had to
Separate myself away from yesterday's life
Please remember
This isn't how I hoped it would be
But I had to protect you from me
Thats why I
Slipped out the back before you knew I was there
I know you felt unprepared (pared)
But every
single time I was around I'd just bring you down
And I could tell that it was time to be scared (scared)
Thats
why I
Slipped out the back before you knew I was there
And I know the way I left wasn't fair
(fair)
I didn't want to be around just to bring you down
I'm not a hero
But don't think I didn't care (care)
