She wanna live like a queen and die like a goddess
She wanted all that gold for God knows what
She had no good reason why

I only want the air to fill my lungs
God I got no religion, I bear no arms
And I got, one good reason why

I wouldn't die for gold

You were my heroine
You were my light
You made me feel
You made feel alive

She only cherished just gold in all she saw
She forgot about what we been dying for
She had no good reason why

I got one choice and God I plead
For the faith to believe and the air to breathe

I wouldn't die for gold

You were my heroine
You were my light
You made me feel
You made feel alive
And in the distance, I can see her silhouette tonight
You were my heroine
You were my light

And I, I been watching you from the pews where I pray at night
Girl you, you've been chasing any man just to fill your life
And moving on it weren't easy no, but I had to find a way to let you go
And all I wanna do is leave tonight behind

You were my heroine
You were my light
You made me feel
You made feel alive
And in the distance, I can see her silhouette tonight
You were my heroine
You were my light
