Hero

When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world

Running 'round and chasing all the criminals

Swinging on a web, flying in the sky

Shooting lasers from my eyes

But now I know it never was my destiny

It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be

And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame

And I don't wanna wear this cape

'Cause on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last

On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down

They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown

It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery

But life is hard enough with one identity

If silence is the voice of a new generation

Then I could live up to all of your expectations

I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist

Then disappear like I don't exist

And on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last

On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself

I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
