Here I stand I'm just a shell of a man

And only a kiss ago I was yesterday's hero

When you were mine I had it made

I was the leader of the big parade

Now look at me I'm yesterday's he ro, hero

How their cheers used to sing in my ears

With you walking by my side I was a conquering hero

But no one even says hello

They say that idols come and idols go

Well I oughta know I'm yesterday's hero, hero

Now the glamour and the glory's gone

But will the story of our love be live on

Or fade away like yesterday's hero

Like yesterday's hero

Yeah yesterday's hero (repeat and fade)
