Daddy said, daddy said
Go out and make me proud
If only he could see the way
You've turned out now

Go ahead baby and say
The words you want from me
Believe 'cause' I'm the one
Who wrote that song

If I could turn back time
And read your mind
Besides these dice and cards
I'm just another game

If you could live forever
You'd still wanna be
A one night stand

You can walk on 'cause I'm leaving
Goodbye to you and everything
You can walk on 'cause I'm leaving
Goodbye to you and everything

Look at the mess and mistakes you've made
Heroes, yeah, I will remain
Look at the mess and mistakes you've made
Heroes, yeah, I will remain the same

I won't be another notch
On bedpost sheets
I won't be another notch
On bedpost sheets

You tried to test me and you failed
I'll stay the course, I'll stay the course
I'll hold my head up high

Another misread lullaby
I won't be misread again, I won't be here waiting
Goodbye to you, goodbye

You can walk on 'cause I'm leaving
Goodbye to you and everything
You can walk on 'cause I'm leaving
Goodbye to you and everything

We wrote the book, you wrote the lies
So take this forever
We wrote the book, you wrote the lies
So take this forever

Forth in writing, oh my God
Forth in writing, oh my God
Oh, my God

So press on now, baby
You never seemed so fake
Just give me something
That's real again
