Hero

Verse 1 You, You could be a hero. But, You choose to be behind the scenes. Hiding, Like the truth you never tell, Like the ghosts you keep between. And I, I’m tangled in your silence, Trying to know what you believe. Trying just to breathe. Pre-Chorus Every step you take, you drift away, Like you’re scared of what you’d be If you stood in the light for once Instead of running from the heat. Chorus But I can’t keep chasing shadows, Reaching out for what isn’t real. You stay locked inside your sorrow, Too afraid of how you feel. If you won’t open up your eyes, Then I can’t be your disguise. I can’t save you— If you don’t want to heal. Verse 2 You, You carry all your secrets Like a pocket full of thieves. And I, I try to break the patterns, But you cling to every grief. Drowning, In a well you built yourself, Where the water never clears. I whisper, “Let me pull you out,” But you’re comfortable in fear. Pre-Chorus Every time I reach, you slip away, Like a shadow in retreat. How can I hold onto someone Who refuses to be seen? Chorus ’Cause I can’t keep chasing shadows, Reaching out for what isn’t real. You stay locked inside your sorrow, Too afraid of how you feel. If you won’t open up your eyes, Then I can’t be your disguise. I can’t save you— If you don’t want to heal. Bridge Maybe you could be a hero If you ever let the past go. But you choose the world below, Where no one ever knows your name. And I’ve given all I can give, But I’m done living in your drift. If you won’t take that step to live— Then I won’t carry all your blame. Final Chorus No, I won’t keep chasing shadows, Holding on to what’s not real. You stay locked inside your sorrow, Still too scared of how you feel. If you won’t look me in the eyes, Then I won’t be your thin disguise. I can’t save you— I’m done trying to heal What you won’t feel.
