LAST MAN STANDING
 
I know there will be silence
I know there will be pain
I know there’ll be things I can’t explain
Damage on the highway
Debris on the line
I know we’ll hit turbulence some time
And I know………..
 
I will not be the last man standing
I am not a man who would be king
Please don’t hold out for a hero
I can’t be that thing
But what I am I lay before you
And I know I have no need to lie
The kind of girl who needs a hero
Just keep walking by
 
I’d promise you protection
Security and calm
(But) I know I’m the one who’ll cause the most harm
I’d say I’ll never hurt you
No matter how I try
(But) I know I’ll find ways to make you cry
And I………
 
I will not be the last man standing
I am not a man who would be king
Please don’t hold out for a hero
I can’t be that thing
But what I am I lay before you
And I know I have no need to lie
The kind of girl who needs a hero
Just keep walking by
 
And I’d like to pretend
In the end
You will not have half of what I could be
But all of what I am
Sometimes I won’t say things
Things I really mean
Leave you to guess what might have been
And I
 
I will not be the last man standing
I am not a man who would be king
Please don’t hold out for a hero
I can’t be that thing
But what I am I lay before you
And I know I have no need to lie
The kind of girl who needs a hero
Just keep walking by
