Heroine Lyrics - Wild Strawberries

The first thing I remember, you were walkin' away 

You were singin' somethin' gentle in the fade 

The next thing I remember, I nearly pushed you off the stage 

I pretended, I pretended not to be afraid 

I played the fool, I played the drownin' man 

I will play, I will play your heroine 

I know the rules, 'cuz you wrote them on my veins 

I will play, I will play your heroine 

I'm callin' from the border of another nameless state 

I am sittin' on the steps of our mistake 

And I will bring you postcards of everythin' that's gray 

I will paint your smile on my state 

I played the fool, I played the drownin' man 

I will play, I will play your heroine 

I know the rules, 'cuz you wrote them on my veins 

I will play, I will play your heroine 

Said I loved you 

Said I needed you but baby, I was wrong 

'Cuz that was Sunday 

And now it's Wednesday and I'm feelin' strong 

Memory's a lover tryin' to tell you that she's late 

Memory's a silent second take 

She will drink the poison if you put it in your cup 

She will touch your eyes and never stop 

I played the fool, I played the drownin' man 

I will play, I will play your heroine 

I know the rules, 'cuz you wrote them on my veins 

I will play, I will play your heroine
