Don’t Meet Your Heroes

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 (I don't mean to be a pessimist)

But I would never say you're heaven-sent (I would never say you're heaven-sent)

You thought I was lightning for your jar

I wish that we never met (that we never met)

Every day, I'm still filled with regret

But then again, it made me who I am (who I am)

There ain't a damn thing I would change except

Don't meet your heroes, they're not as they seem (not as they seem)

I just should've kept you on my TV screen (on my TV screen)

Oh, I learned my lesson when they put me through hell

No, don't meet your heroes without (without) knowing yourself

Don't meet your heroes, they're not as they seem (not as they seem)

I just should've kept you on my TV screen (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
