Nobody’s Hero

Nobody’s Hero
Built it up, knock it down
Wear your love like a crown
Keep the faith in my head
In my heart, in my bed
Promise me, faithfully
Find out what it means to be
Here today, gone tomorrow
Too much pain, too much sorrow

Cry it out, let it bleed
Wait until the waves recede
Rip apart what's in my hand
Dwell upon what's not been said
Rue the loss of innocence
No release, no recompense
How long will this whole thing take?
Will it bend or will it break?
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's champion
Chant your name, sing its song
Burn a fire all night long
Make a protest cut that rug
Anesthetized like a drug
Count the cost of a new start
Poisoned well, broken heart
Will I stand or will I shake?
Is it real or is it fake?
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's champion
No one's Idol, no one's saint
I'm no one's lionheart
With every kind of mess I make
How can I be your guiding star?

Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's champion
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's champion
