He used to come and grab me
I was supporting the weight
Of his creativity
Way beyond half-past eight
Composing songs for hours
I thought we were one
The night was ours
But he let me down

In a bar, in a house, facing the piano
Underneath each and every hero
Without me, no balance, no future, back to zero
But today, is another day
They’re done and they go away

He was young, full of desire
When we first met at school
Through years, growing like fire
I helped knowledge feeding his soul
Reading books over and over
In the library hall
He has become a doctor
And now he knows them all

In a bar, in a house, facing the piano
Underneath each and every hero
Without me, no balance, no future, back to zero
But today, is another day
They’re done and they go away

Like every night at the counter
He’s alone with a bottle
I won’t take it much longer
Time to go back to the hotel
His world starts spinning
Barely standing on me
The glass is spilling
He drank one too many

In a bar, in a house, facing the piano
Underneath each and every hero
Without me, no balance, no future, back to zero
But today, is another day
They’re done and they go away
