The Archer lyrics

[Verse 1]
Combat, I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that
But what if I do?
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
 
[Pro-Chorus]
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold on to you
 
[Chorus]
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
 
[Verse 2]
Dark side
I search for your dark side
But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here?
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
Then hate my reflection for years and years
 
[Pro-Chorus]
I wake in the night
I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire
Invisible smoke
And all my heroes die all alone
Help me hold on to you
 
[Chorus]
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Screaming who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
 
[Bridge]
'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through me
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me
 
[Pre-Chrous]
All the king's horses
All the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
Help me hold on to you
 
[Chorus]
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay
You could stay
 
[Outro]
Combat
I'm ready for combat

It is "all of my heroes" :))

I watched the original lyrics video, it says, "all my heroes".

Then that's a mistake in the video 'cause I clearly hear an "of" in the song

I also hear it but we might be mistaken. I'm not going to change it to 'all of my' since these are the official lyrics for now.

Yes we'll see what Taylor does. As for interpretation, I don't think there is much difference if the "of" is dropped anyway.
