Heroine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The first thing I remember, you were walking away You were singing something gentle in the fade The next thing I remember, I nearly pushed you off the stage I pretended, I pretended not to be afraid [Chorus] I played the fool, I played the drowning man I will play, I will play your heroine I know the rules, 'cause you wrote them on my veins I will play, I will play your heroine [Verse 2] I'm calling from the border of another nameless state I am sitting on the steps of our mistake And I will bring you postcards of everything that's gray I will paint your smile on my state [Chorus] I played the fool, I played the drowning man I will play, I will play your heroine I know the rules (I will play your), 'cause you wrote them on my veins I will play, I will play your heroine [Bridge] I said I loved you I said I needed you But, baby, I was wrong Well, that was Sunday And now it's Wednesday, and I'm feeling strong [Verse 3] Memory's a lover trying to tell you that she's late Memory's a silent second take She will drink the poison if you put it in your cup She will touch your eyes and never stop [Chorus] I played the fool (I will play your), I played the drowning man I will play, I will play your heroine I know the rules (I will play your), 'cause you wrote them on my veins I will play, I will play your heroine
