Ah hero to zero

The way we used to be, invades my memory
Pictures on the wall, betrays the rise and fall
I never realize, I still don't understand
I was too blind to see, you're slippin' through my hands

Slippin' away
You're slippin' away yeah yeah
A hero to zero, sunshine to stormy weather
I was the number one now there's no more together

We had it goin' on so tell me where did it all go wrong
A hero to zero, it's like me losing you yeah
It's like me losing you yeah

The silence chills the air
I miss you being there
Time won't heal the scars
Still wonder where you are

It never dawned on me
One day you break free
And I would come down to earth
And face reality

Slippin' away
You're slippin' away yeah yeah
A hero to zero, sunshine to stormy weather
I was the number one now there's no more together

We had it goin' on so tell me where did it all go wrong
A hero to zero, it's like me losing you yeah
It's like me losing you yeah

Slippin' away
You're slippin' away yeah yeah
A hero to zero, sunshine to stormy weather
I was the number one now there's no more together

We had it goin' on so tell me where did it all go wrong
A hero to zero, it's like me losing you yeah
It's like me losing you yeah

Slippin' away
You're slippin' away yeah yeah
A hero to zero, sunshine to stormy weather
I was the number one now there's no more together


We had it goin' on so tell me where did it all go wrong
A hero to zero, it's like me losing you yeah
It's like me losing you yeah
