Goodbye Kisses and Bloodstained Hands
You give it a name and you make it real
Now its something and not a nameless thing
It can't be ignored now, you can't ignore things with names
Always the hero
Rushing in head first think about it later
Helping the hopeless, Saving the fallen
Never mind its cost to you
Who's to save the hero?
The one who did everything that everyone else wouldn't do?
No one will touch you, not with those hands
Dirty hands that have done countless evil deeds,
Deeds that needed to be done
They keep their distance
They're thankful for what you do
Never enough though to do it for you
To share your burden
To take your hands
Your bloodstained hands
Your beautiful, perfect hands
Never enough to take those hands that have saved everyone
And say 'Let me help you'
No, never enough.
They won't get their hands dirty
You won't let me get my hands dirty
Always the hero
Saving everyone, even the ones who don't want to be saved
How many times am I going to kiss you goodbye and wonder
How much deeper will you be the next time
How far will you throw yourself into the fray to save everyone else
You give it a name and you make it real
Now its something and not a nameless thing
It can't be ignored now, you can't ignore things with names
Always the hero
Rushing in head first think about it later
Helping the hopeless, Saving the fallen
Never mind its cost to you
Who's to save the hero?
The one who did everything that everyone else wouldn't do?
No one will touch you, not with those hands
Dirty hands that have done countless evil deeds,
Deeds that needed to be done
They keep their distance
They're thankful for what you do
Never enough though to do it for you
To share your burden
To take your hands
Your bloodstained hands
Your beautiful, perfect hands
Never enough to take those hands that have saved everyone
And say 'Let me help you'
No, never enough.
They won't get their hands dirty
You won't let me get my hands dirty
Always the hero
Saving everyone, even the ones who don't want to be saved
How many times am I going to kiss you goodbye and wonder
How much deeper will you be the next time
How far will you throw yourself into the fray to save everyone else
