I Should Have Been Your Hero Lyrics

I was in the car that day - pretending, feeling numb
Staring at the clinic wall - defending what we'd done.
There beneath a steel grey sky - that spilled a mournful rain.
I was in the car that day and knew - I'd never be the same.

Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood superstar.
I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.
I should have been your hero - but I let you slip away.

I was in the car that day - rain falling in my heart
Silently we drove away - sitting miles apart.
She looked at me and I could see - her eyes had somehow changed.
I was in the car that day and knew - She'd never be the same.

Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood superstar.
I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.

Larger than life, Defender of right
Caped crusader saving the night
Piggyback rides and trips to the moon
Spaceship swings on Sunday afternoon.
I should have been your hero - but I let you slip away.

Oh, I should have been your hero. Your childhood superstar.
I should have been your hero. 'Cos that's what daddies are.
I should have been your hero - but I let you slip
Should have been your hero - but I let you slip
I should have been your hero - but I let you slip... away.

She said it was her choice to make
and I just went along
How I wished that I'd stood my ground
But I wasn't quite that strong
