"I'm Not Your Hero" Lyrics:
Standing where I am now, standing up at all
I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line
Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all
I was used to seeing no future in my sight line
Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me
Send all those villains after me
I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall
I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart
Learning all I know now, losing all I did
I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead
Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
Sending your peaceful loss to me
I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
It's so hard to know I'm not what they want
Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
It's so hard to know I'm not what they want
I'm not their hero
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
I never walked the party line
Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
I'm not your hero
But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
I do my best to walk the finest line
Till I've had all that I can take

[@MitchellM929]

dont you just love that instrument in the background thats like "oooohweeee"

[@relaxme4]

is not the just but the most.

[@SandNebula232]

Yes.

[@superstarquins]

Tegan is the greatest instrument ever.

[@magnificent_music_]

That's a guitar

[@MRSHYYETI]

I cant believe this album is ten years old now! Still as fabulous as ever!

[@jjm2412]

can you guys believe they aren't considered mainstream! they are way better than most mainstream singers and have way more songs than most mainstream singers. it's unbelievable

[@queercatmanor6520]

jjm2412 They've outlasted dozens & dozens of 'mainstream' artists who came & went. They've built their band over 15 years & are truly inspiring.

[@Samantha-gv8wd]

jjm2412 I’m glad they are not .. keeps them special and sacred

[@tonytonytony8216]

Come on, now!!! I first bought their CD, This Business of Art, back in their garage alt rock days in 2,000. Nearly every song was good. I've followed them ever since. I can't be the only one.

[@ThePeachJames]

This Business of Art is not the first cd...

[@Charmlessman77]

​@@ThePeachJames He didn't say it was. He clearly said it was the first of their CDs he bought...

[@konstantin8417]

Boom. This song is just perfect in so many ways.

[@rezgirl717]

I love this song. It's a must listen before I go to work. I have a lot of responsibility that rests on my shoulders and this song helps me to power thru those tough days. And after a hard day. It's played a lot!!!

[@chngxingyue5638]

Still love them after Heartthrob was released and I really admire their courage in changing their style of music. Most artists just stick in their comfort zones. Though I miss how their shows used to be and those banters, but still I will support Tegan and Sara for changing my life!

[@TeganQuinLove]

They need to play this on the radio!! It's a must and Tegan and Sara songs can NEVER be "overplayed" They are too perfect!

[@bradmenpes809]

This song is indie pop perfection. One of my favourite songs off one of my all time favourite albums.

[@JoshuaGuzz]

This song is the center of my universe

[@thearthippie]

I think it's a testament to their music that I've listened to this one time and it's already stuck in my head.

[@Nanami-ju9jo]

I can't believe that I found this song just now. It's perfect and relatable in so many ways. I love it

[@alexyoung8162]

Heard this on radio while driving. Song is hauntingly beautiful.

[@MrVansbmx11]

I have listened to this atleast 10 times in a row already atleast, Sara Quin you really outdid yourself..

[@fetalman]

i am loving these new girl groups!!! (new to me anyway)

[@catcherad5444]

Their voices and harmonies are as good or better than ever... Even the newest album sounds great live and they are still very acoustic and in tune with their audience... Hearthrob got them more noticed in the States, so that's pretty awesome... I wonder where they go from here? I believe this was their last contracted Album for the Warner Label....Hmmm!!

[@VioletTrixie]

I am absolutely LOVING their new stuff! I love how they have been so versatile with their music during their career. I love love love them. Seriously. I could cry.

[@ShehrinHossain]

Absolutely love this song.

[@jordanbruen3024]

Me too dept of corrections radio station brought me here today 😉

[@drbadhorse9613]

This is definitely one of the best songs they've ever made. 3 mins 55 secs of perfection.

[@taylorlautner12988]

Words can't even express how much I love Tegan and Sara.

[@garyreynolds3086]

I can't stop playing this song!

[@valeriemarshall-smale2026]

Love this song!! It can apply to so many people, in so many different life situations... totally did for me....

[@lanene93]

i love thjis whole album

[@LindseyKateDolbear]

Yep, it's one of those albums where you never skip a track

[@cjsewall85]

lanene93 ikr?!?!?! Every song on this album had enough to be its own hit. All very catchy tunes every.single.one.

[@angieboo1000]

Ughh they need to be main stream!! they're music is too good!

[@pedrovalle6300]

remarkable lyrics

[@zonii067]

I havent heard this in 7 years! Great song.

[@sherrysmall2206]

This is one of the greats that will always be around

[@CombateArmsOndraya]

Completely right, Tegan and Sara are not my heros... you are my heroines

[@Ecsterya]

Reinvention is quality, for quality artists, evolution, is everything... I loved the new sound

[@jordanbruen3024]

They say the word mean so beautiful

[@kameronhood5642]

Am I the only one that has a hard time watching the audio-only videos? When listening to them, I just want to look at them while doing it, lol. They're so damn beautimus.

[@jennai.9424]

Well, the only reason they make audio videos is so people can listen to them in the background of doing something. Your question is like asking "Am I the only one who has a hard time listening to music videos?"

[@kameronhood5642]

I understand why they make them. Not like I was trying to make some profound statement, just talking about how hot they are.

[@corrythew]

If you have a Penis , there not interested ...lol

[@Musicmonk84]

There's definitely a new pop sensibility to their music, but they seem to do it better than everyone else. There's a level of creativity with their melodies and a realness to their lyrics that makes it so worthwhile. It's almost like taking the best of both worlds. Can't wait to hear the new album. It'll probably be a healthy mix of ear candy and disappointment.

[@KurtUnger]

Seriously! its not called different, its called 'Growth'. All artists do it and its an amazing thing. My favorite thing about Tegan and Sara is that they continually grow and innovate, but still sound distinctly themselves. :)

[@MultiNutsCracker]

One of this songs that actually gives you energy for a whole day :D

[@balbinaxgarza]

im in love with this and with sara. this makes me wanna cry and i dont know what. im so happy right now.

[@jolenemcphail3044]

It's a different feel, but I'm digging it. Tegan and Sara never disappoint me. the lyrics are wonderful

[@pamilasinha437]

Love it

[@cesarjotaga]

I remember this song came out on my birthday, I was having the worst day but then I listened to their song and bang! Love at first sight! ♥

[@viciousandchaotic]

[@twistiechook9058]

The new album and change in pace couldn't have come at a better time .. I love all previous songs by T&S … but am so effing excited with all of T&S releases in 2012 .. including bodywork collab etc … means I can finally add them to my running playlist!

[@LTPDfilms]

[@endlich18juhu]

I for one have been a fan of their music for ages. Always loved them but I totally dig their new style as well. You go girls! Stop being so uptight. Change can be a good thing.

[@in5p3kt0r]

I really love Sara's voice on this particular song.

[@hayleyDayumm]

I cannot wait to see these girls live tomorrow! They're so amazing, and so is ALL of their music!

[@nat1364]

thank-you!!

[@Tycowiz]

I love Tegan & Sara!

[@tehsplendiferousone]

Honestly, I just enjoy their voice, no matter what genre they are in. Sure I love their more acoustic stuff, but this is awesome too. Their voices are just too good.

[@Moniquita2796]

amazing

[@parkboyk]

different is almost ALWAYS good......art is going with what you see/feel. NEVER SELL OUT......stay true to your head. I don't have to like it, but as an artist, don't you feel the need to be a conduit of your vibe/thoughts/inspiration, etc,etc.....? These women are awsome.

[@amandajuneman5930]

I love all of these songs. They just keep progressing and learning new things with their instruments and vocal ranges. They just keep impressing me, I don't think these twins could ever be disappointing.

[@randomnpc2185]

I absolutely love the new sound, it's refreshing. Cannot wait to hear the rest of the album.

[@alonguerra5756]

THIS IS PURE GOLDDD

[@woohoo04]

cannot stop listening to this. the chorus is gonna be stuck in my head for years to come.

[@74neunTA]

I heard this song for the first time about 2 weeks ago when I flew to Germany with Air Canada and immediately fell in love with it

[@grapejuicepictures]

[@BadLady666]

Wow, sounds rly great!

[@Sindiorharmr]

Great new sound....groove!

[@petrologyboy]

New fan here too. I was knocked out by them at the ACL Festival this past October. It was my first encounter with their music. I remember being so musically wiped out by this particular song, and Tegan's "Oh, Oh, Oh's" were an emotional blast with Sara's voice. I actually got teary-eyed hearing them. This studio version is excellent as well. I'm very much looking forward to the release of the album.

[@kurama9t]

im lovin it..

[@EverAwkwardEric]

I'm really digging this.

[@bunnicornmuffincake]

Tegan and Sara know what they're doing. :-] I'll always love 'em.
