Where Heaven and Hell Meet

Everyone likes to think of themselves
As the hero of their story
The main character that matters
With all the power, all the glory

But what if it isn't true?
What if I'm a background guy?
Just fumbling around in the darkness
Live a boring life and sit and sigh

Or maybe Its worse
Maybe the villain is me
Could I be the bad guy?
Mayne that's what others see

Well you did hurt her didn't you?
Well yes, but I was in a lot of pain
So that makes it ok?
...no. Please just let me explain

What's to explain?
I never meant to cause it
Thats of little comfort to her.
All I ever do is break shit

When I ran it was from fear not malice
I never meant to inflict heartbreak
I only thought she didn't love me
And ran for my heart's sake

Maybe you're right....
Maybe I am the demon people see
I don't feel like one but maybe
What do you see when you look at me?

I'm starting to believe that I'm a goner
Maybe I'm just a hero
Who stayed a hero too long
And then turned into a zero

Maybe all the pain I took onto myself
Corrupted my heart
Maybe thats why I couldn't accept yours
And I broke it all apart

But mine crumbled with it
Little did I know you really felt love
And my heart was linked to yours
Thats just karma from above

For when you smile I smile
When you cry I cry
And when I hurt you
I wanted to lay down and die

The weight of my shame
Sometimes buckles my knees
Watching you happy
With someone else to please

My jealous heart wants you to myself
Maybe I really am bad to the core
But would loving me still
Just feel like a chore

Or could you be the person to still see
The angel that's inside of me

Under the husk of a broken man
Give my loving heart a scan

Your face is all that you will find
Calmly waiting inside my mind

For until you lay beside me once more
I will be waiting right by the door

For a devil of a man as I may be
When I look at you, my angel is all I see
