Alicia stands behind me   Ties black ribbon in my hair   The sound of heavy boots   Slowly pounding up the stairs   The organ pours out slow and soothing   Old and rugged hymns   I long to find some comfort   But my sorrow won’t give in   This is the coldest winter   In a thousand freezing years   And if I started crying   I could never stop the tears      You don’t know what you’ve done   Not here to see the repercussions of your love   You don’t know what you’ve done   You’re not my hero anymore      Time is slowing down   Like a river clogged with mud   People gather round me   Some friends and others blood   The trumpeter starts playing taps   The soldiers fire their guns   The folding of the flag   Makes the tears come in a flood      You don’t know what you’ve done   Not here to see the repercussions of your love   You don’t know what you’ve done   You’re not my hero anymore      No one would say you were an easy man   No, you are hard and stubborn and vain   And I’m tired of being held back at arms length   Tired, tired   And something’s gotta change      You don’t know what you’ve done   I didn’t break, no, I’ve grown strong   You don’t know what you’ve done   You’re not my hero   You’re not my hero anymore   Anymore   Anymore      You’re not my hero anymore   Not here to face the consequences of your love   You’re not my hero anymore   Anymore   Anymore
