Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm a fighter and I made it through
Solid gold survival, that's my attitude
But I didn't know (I didn't know)
I didn't know (I didn't know)
I had to be your hero
[Verse 2]
Baby, don't ask me to be strong for you as well
Pushed off the edge and now I'm back from hell
But I didn't know (I didn't know)
I didn't know (I didn't know)
I had to be your hero, mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 3]
(So give me light) I'm not built to carry us both
(So give me light) Time to rest my weary bones
(So give me light) I've got to find you, oh, whoa
Help me sing
[Verse 4]
Just when I thought I'd had enough
Had no more life and no more love
It's not over, it's not over
Almost saved you when I'm weak
Only got so much left to give
It's not over, it's not over
[Verse 5]
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
[Verse 6]
You look at me and see how much I take
But with his heart of gloss I'm about to break
But I didn't know (I didn't know)
I didn't know (I didn't know)
I had to be your hero, mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 7]
(So give me light) I'm not built to carry us both
(So give me light) Time to rest my weary bones
(So give me light) You've got to find your own road
Help me sing
[Verse 8]
Just when I thought I'd had enough
Had no more life and no more love
It's not over, it's not over
Almost saved you when I'm weak
Only got so much left to give
It's not over, it's not over
[Verse 9]
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
[Verse 10]
What you think you ever did for me before?
(So give me light)
Blocked out the sun and let the moon fall on the floor
(So give me light)
I am empty, ain't got nothing left to give
(So give me light)
And now you ain't the one I wanna be with
[Verse 11]
Just when I thought I'd had enough
Had no more life and no more love
It's not over, it's not over
Almost saved you when I'm weak
Only got so much left to give
It's not over, it's not over
[Verse 12]
Just when I thought I'd had enough
Had no more life and no more love
It's not over, it's not over
Almost saved you when I'm weak
Only got so much left to give
It's not over, it's not over
[Verse 13]
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
Til I'm done
