"The Heroine" by Unwoman | Cover by Justine M. 

I remember hearing this song for the first time as the weather on an episode of Welcome to Night Vale. Thank you for reminding me that it exists.

The city is war-torn and nearly impassable I act the lovelorn, dramatically laughable You said you'd come see me here underground Now it's closing night, you can't be found I go through the motions again and again But you are not here to see them I go through the emotions again and again And this time I actually feel them I play the heroine, I play to their sympathies I say the sweetest things to command their empathy I asked just one thing of you, to be here Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? That was my best poker face, trying not to care I watch and I wait while you never appear The city is war-torn and nearly impassable I act the lovelorn, I used to be laughable And though I've been spoiled by pretty privilege I am no child throwing a fit I could write the book on disappointment And you'd be the final chapter of it So you're a coward or could never love me Or you have fallen to the enemy I asked just one thing of you, to be here Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? That was my best poker face, trying not to care I watch and I wait while you never appear All these people came all this way Faces stained with loss but smiling as they're crying I would rather see you laugh at my tragedy Than choke on these tears while I am curtsying So you're a coward or could never love me Or you have fallen to the enemy The city is war-torn and nearly impassable I act the lovelorn, I used to be laughable

I have been looking for this song and this channel for months. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. It really fill my ears. I so regretted every second since it was lost to me and I couldn't even remember the title or lyrics. Now that I found it again I already saved it in almost all my playlists, ah ;;

This makes me want to cry and smile until my face falls off. You are STUNNING.

Such clear words and strong high notes OMG!!!!Also those strings, so beautiful

when you say Poker Face it just sounds so real that you're sad and you can actually tell that you have emotions also I love how this is like a more modern version and like the other one is more Victorian

This is actually one favorite songs from you!!! I keep playing it on loop...

This song fits your style so much! 😍

This cover is still so amazing honestly

just STUNNING

I have re watched this like 50 times along with your other covers bc I'm obsessed with these 😂😂😂
