You weren't the girl I had planned
To share my love with but you came in strongly with
Your ships and planes
You took me down
And I went in quietly
You had me strapped, but you would promise honesty
And like clock-ridden hands
I'd come around
But you'll be captive in this town
And I'll be back out on the road
Well if you wanna hear us out
Then let it ride, let it ride, let it
Ride, but baby I've got so much more in this life
And we could never quite get it
Right, and baby I'm not looking out from inside
And I could never quite give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get
But it just wont amount to much I'm sure
I guess this boy is not for loving after all, all, after all
I put myself in between
Treason that I hadn't seen naivety would conquer me
As I thought all the buzz was fake
But you'd prove me wrong
But right from the start, well I've been proven so much smarter
And yeah, some nights you were worth the mistake
Now you can call me from the town
And I can tell you about the road
No I don't wanna hear you out
Let it die, let it die, let it
Die, cause baby I've got
So much more in this life
And we could never quite get it
Right, and baby I'm not
Looking out from inside
And I will never ever give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get
But it just wont amount to much I'm sure
I guess this girl is not for loving after all, all, after all, all
But you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
Cause despite your indiscretions I'm a ten times better man
And you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
Cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand
Yeah you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
Cause somehow you had me trying to break my back and give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I'm sure
Yeah you know that you're my hero, because I know now
I know some girls are not for loving after all
