Idle Romeo

We live our desperate lives
in search of our own alibis
of why we've failed or why we never tried.
Nobody realized
that what you saw you fantasized
and that would be the life that you'd lead.
Noone expected you to leave. Cause...

Life's just a talent show
where people fall like dominos,
but I'll be there to catch you if you fall.
We all need subtle heros.
I didn't mean to make it you, though.
Your burden's tough enough to bear.
We all pretended that we dared
by letting you go.
Wo wo wo.

We live in paradise,
but you settled for a sacrafice.
Some things are worth any price.
Now you just want to say,
"Everybody go away
It's my ambition so let me pay."
We all expected you to stay. But...

Life's just a talent show
where people fall like dominos,
but I'll be there to catch you if you fall.
We all need subtle heros.
I didn't mean to make it you, though.
Your burden's tough enough to bear.
We all pretended that we dared
by letting you go.
Wo wo wo.

As our life passes by
we never stop to wonder why.
why we fail to break down the walls.
Our excuse is we're nothing at all.

As I sit alone at night,
and I think about my life,
it's kind of hard not to laugh.
Cause I'm a casualty
of my own mediocrity
and the visions that I have.
It's hard to accept what you lack. Because

Life's just a talent show
where people fall like dominos,
but I'll be there to catch you if you fall.
We all need subtle heros.
I didn't mean to make it you, though.
Your burden's tough enough to bear.
I pretended that I dared
by letting you go.
I'm just an Idle Romeo.
