Hero/Heroine Lyrics

It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you need to get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And its so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart all locked down
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

Cover art for Hero/Heroine lyrics by Boys Like Girls

i can really relate to this song., too me its prety much about a guy who has a history of not letting people in. when a girl falls in love with him he just pushes them away because he promised himself that he would never fall for someone and just end up being hurt. but then a girl came along. and shes trying soo hard to be with him. and the guy doesnt understand why she wants to be with him. but he begins to fall for her.. and he doesnt know why. in the end he breaks his promise with himself (do you know your love is the sweetest sin) and lets the girl in. he realizes that his look on love was wrong and it feels soo good to be with her rather then not letting her in.

ok first of all a thousand thank yous ive been looking for these lyrics anywhere and everywhere lol... i disagree though i think its more like he HAD his heart brokena nd he never wanted to fall in love again... and he thought that everything about love was wrong, and then this girl just caught him off guard and he fell for her... and hes in love with her so much and shes turned his life around and changed everything for him...

also i was wondering the heroine thing... it doesnt say anything but before i saw the lyrics i was wondering if maybe the heroine was also heroin like she was his drug... that brought him up everytime... idk anyways

Yes;

e>Thats a good interpretation; Heroine has two meanings. Female Hero and addictive drug that can be deadly. Though i think he was referring to the former; the second one could be true.

Not Valid

Well on the Album they spell it "heroine" which is the correct spelling of a "female hero" where the drug is spelled "heroin" I think that distinction was made purposefully.

Not Valid

i think he chose the word heroine BECAUSE it sounds like the word heroin. like, he's addicted to her but she's just causing him more pain.

i always thought (and still do) that it was "i keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart.." not hold of my heart... makes more sense to me... because i feel like the song is about a guy who had a girl and now he lost her suddenly ("you caught me off guard") now hes going crazy and would do anything for her and just wants to go to her. (now im running and screaming) and he feels amazing when hes with her and things were great. (i feel like a hero, and youre my heroine) he was so sick of just going into relationships and them not being great, but when he was with her things were amazing (i was so jaded). and her love is the sweetest sin because it feels so right that he felt like there was something sinful. but really he just loved her entirely. theres no chance letting her get away, he already knows how incredible she is and theres no way he'll ever let her go (its too late baby theres no turning around). hes not going to try to explain everything with a long thought out answer on why she should take him back (i wont try to philosophize) hes just going to give it to her straight (ill take a deep breath and ill look in your eyes) he has had a long past of bad girlfriends and secrets (closet filled up to the brim... skeletons) and hes happy that she doesnt judge him for any of it.(dont know why you'd even try)... sorry i kinda jumped aroound the song a little, but thats how i read it, but thats also exactly whats going on in my life so thats what i want the song to be about. thanks :)

I wasn't quite sure what the first line of the 2nd verse was so if anyone has ideas.... This song is great though and Boys Like Girls look to be going places. I feel like it's about a guy who had his heart broken by a girl who he knew was wrong for him but he didn't care and let her in.

Its kind of like "I'm not going to think about how you're in my life and got past the walls i built up or why you bothered, I'm just going to enjoy being with you"

Second verse is "I won't try to philosophize, I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes" Haha. I think Snarf posted the lyrics. Man up Snarf

Wow- I love this song. I saw them live. They're so amazing. I actually keep in touch the John. One of the bandmembers.

Um..It's about a boy who had his heart on his sleeve, took a chance with a girl, got hurt badly and now it's hard for him to trust. I guess? I'm really not sure.

I love BLG. They will be big =]

I think its 'Had my heart on lockdown'

i absolutely love this song!! i think the best part is at the second chorus where it switches from a silently "i feel like a hero" to the more rocked "and you are my heroin". best part. ever!
