We don’t have halos Hanging over our heads No slow-motion entrance No catchphrase said We’re not fearless We’re not flameproof We’ve both said things We can’t undo We don’t get theme music When we walk in the room No headline story No epic cartoon Just two hearts Trying to find Something honest In a world that grinds We are not heroes We don’t save the day We don’t have the answers It’s better that way No shining armour No perfect lines Just your heart Still next to mine We are not heroes But we’re still here We’ve both got shadows We don’t show online Cracks in our egos Under the shine We’ve both been selfish We’ve both been scared Both said no way When we weren’t prepared But we don’t need glory We don’t need gold We don’t need a story Everyone’s told Just a quiet nod At the end of the night Just your hand Still in mine We are not heroes We don’t save the day We don’t have the answers We just choose to stay No shining armour No perfect lines Just your life Still next to mine We are not heroes But we’re still here Let them chase legends Let them chase fame Let them build statues Under a name We don’t need monuments We don’t need thrones Just a place to stand That feels like home We are not heroes We don’t need to be No grand redemption No tragedy If love is a battle We’re not keeping score We’re just walking back Through the same front door We are not heroes We don’t save the day We just wake up And choose to stay
