Amos Lee Behind Me Now song lyrics

All my best days are behind me now

Photographs tell of my wedding vows

And if you want heroes then I'd sail up to the stars

For all I got beneath my skin are tears and scars

I've walked in these shoes ten thousand miles

Been through all sorts of belated trials

So if you want heroes then I'll tell you where to go

I'll sell you a map to thank the faces that you know

Oh, but for now I'll just be at this all-night show

Oh, yes tonight, I'll spend my lonely dollar slow

Yes, I've loved and lost and loved again

Happy ever after's never been

And if you want love then I suggest that you not wait

'Cause I will know not what I've waited at heaven's gate

All my best days are behind me now

Still I find a way to live somehow
