Heroes - James Blunt (詹姆斯.布朗特)

You can see it on her face

Her red eyes say she's not safe

How should she know what it means

She is only just a teen

Under her duvet's where she hides

To block the screaming late at night

She can't remember life before

Mama and Daddy went to war

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones

Packed the small bag of things she loves

Deep inside she blames herself

She has nowhere else to go

But that sounds better than what she knows

And as she steps into the dark

Dirty hair and heavy heart

Cold cold air inside her lungs

Catch a snowflake on her tongue

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones

And as I heard you shut the door

Went through the window and I saw

The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

Since then not a single day has passed

Where I don't say your name and ask

Where where did you go

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones
