Lyrics

Warm lights from the grand houses blind me

Haves cannot stand have-nots And my love is under the ground My one true love is under the ground

And I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's hero now I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's hero now

They who should love me walk right through me I am a ghost and as far as I know I haven't even died And my love is under the ground My one true love is under the ground

And I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's hero now I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's hero now

See me as I am See me as I am See me as I am

I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's lover now I'll never be, I'll never be I'll never be anybody's lover now

Things I've heard and I've seen and I've felt and I've been Tell me I'll never be anybody's lover now It begins in the heart and it hurts when it's true It only hurts because it's true
