Lyrics
0:09I was young and so obsessed
0:11All my friends said you're the best
0:14So I just assumed you were nice
0:18I love the way you were a star
0:21I love the way you play guitar
0:23You don't even look like you're tryin'
0:28I wish that we never met
0:29Every day I'm still filled with regret
0:32But then again it made me who I am
0:34There ain't a damn thing I would change except
0:37Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem
0:42I just should've kept you on my TV screen
0:46Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell
0:51No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself
1:06It felt like I lived in your dream
1:08Did I hurt your self-esteem?
1:10I hope I make it in your memoir
1:15I don't mean to be a pessimist
1:17But I would never say you're heaven-sent
1:19You thought I was lightning for your jar
1:24I wish that we never met
1:26Every day I'm still filled with regret
1:28But then again it made me who I am
1:30There ain't a damn thing I would change except
1:34Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem
1:38I just should've kept you on my TV screen
1:43Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell
1:47No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself
2:21Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem
2:25I just should've kept you on my TV screen
2:30Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell
2:35No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself
2:42Oh knowing yourself
2:50I learned my lesson when they put me through hell
2:53No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself
3:07Knowing yourself
3:11Yes I've yes I've yes I've learned
I was young and so obsessed All my friends said you're the best So I just assumed you were nice I love the way you were a star I love the way you play guitar You don't even look like you're tryin' I wish that we never met Every day I'm still filled with regret But then again it made me who I am There ain't a damn thing I would change except Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem I just should've kept you on my TV screen Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself It felt like I lived in your dream Did I hurt your self-esteem? I hope I make it in your memoir I don't mean to be a pessimist But I would never say you're heaven-sent You thought I was lightning for your jar I wish that we never met Every day I'm still filled with regret But then again it made me who I am There ain't a damn thing I would change except Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem I just should've kept you on my TV screen Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself Don't meet your heroes they're not as they seem I just should've kept you on my TV screen Oh I learned my lesson when they put me through hell No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself Oh knowing yourself I learned my lesson when they put me through hell No don't meet your heroes without knowing yourself Knowing yourself Yes I've yes I've yes I've learned
