Heroes Lyrics - Moon Landing - James Blunt

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 thirteen 

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 

Poor little girl's 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 

Fly before the guilty clip your wings 

Cause all you're heroes 

Are skin and bones

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Poor little girl's 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 

Fly before the guilty clip your wings 

Cause all you're 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? 

Poor little girl's 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 

Fly before the guilty clip your wings 

Cause all you're heroes 

Are skin and bones
