Wild Strawberries Heroine lyrics

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
