don t meet your heroes

Charlie Puth

I was young and so obsessed
All my friends said you re the best
So I just assumed you were nice
I love the way you were a star
I love the way you play guitar
You don t even look like you re tryin

I wish that we never met
Every day, I m still filled with regret
But then again, it made me who I am
There ain t a damn thing I would change, except

Don t meet your heroes, they re not as they seem
I just should ve kept you on my TV screen
Oh, I learned my lesson
when they put me through hell
No, don t meet your heroes without knowing yourself

Oh, oh

It felt like I lived in your dream
Did I hurt your self-esteem?
I hope I make it in your memoir
I don t mean to be a pessimist
(I don t mean to be a pessimist)
But I would never say Heaven sent
(I would never say Heaven sent)
You thought I was lighting for your jar

I wish that we
never met (That we never met)
Every day I m suffering
regret (Suffering regret)
But then again, it made me who I am (Who I am)
There ain t a damn thing
(There ain t a damn) that I would change, except

Don t meet your heroes
they re not as they seem (Not as they seem)
I just should ve kept you
on my TV screen (On my TV screen)
Oh, I learnt my lesson
when they put me through hell (Put me through hell)
No, don t meet your heroes
without (Without) knowing yourself

Oh, oh

Don t meet your heroes
they re not as they seem (Not as they seem)
I just should ve kept you on my TV screen
Oh, I learnt my lesson
when they put me through hell
No, don t meet your heroes without knowing yourself

Oh, (Knowing yourself) oh
I learnt my lesson when they put me through hell
No, don t meet your heroes without knowing yourself

Knowing yourself
Yourself, yourself, yourself
