Porch light glowing through the blinds 3AM and you’re on my line Voice shaking like the world gave out So I grab my boots and head on out Been the shoulder in your worst nights Been the fix when your heart ain’t right But when my sky starts caving in That ringing phone don’t ring again Pre-Chorus I keep holding back the breaking Keep pretending I’m alright Everybody wants a savior When they’re losing every fight But a hero gets lonely Standing in the storm alone Funny how the one you lean on Ain’t got nobody of his own Chorus You only call me when you’re sinking When the bottom’s falling through When your world’s about to shatter I’m the one you run to I’m the match in your darkness I’m the road when you’re lost I’m the prayer that you’re praying When you’re counting the cost But when I’m barely breathing When I’m hanging by a thread You disappear like midnight When the sun hits the edge Yeah I’m good enough to save you But not enough to keep Guess I’m only someone’s hero When they need me Verse 2 I’ve been the ride in the pouring rain Been the voice saying “try again” Held your pieces in both my hands While mine slipped through the cracks like sand You lean heavy like I don’t bend Like I don’t break like other men But the strong one gets tired too When the strong one’s carrying you Pre-Chorus Every promise that I’ve given Every time I stayed too long Every midnight rescue mission Every right I made from wrong But tonight I see the truth now Clearer than I ever seen You don’t really love the person Just the help that I can be Chorus You only call me when you’re sinking When the bottom’s falling through When your world’s about to shatter I’m the one you run to I’m the match in your darkness I’m the road when you’re lost I’m the prayer that you’re praying When you’re counting the cost But when I’m barely breathing When I’m hanging by a thread You disappear like midnight When the sun hits the edge Yeah I’m good enough to save you But not enough to keep Guess I’m only someone’s hero When they need me Bridge Maybe I was born to carry Every burden but my own Maybe I just stayed too long Holding hearts that weren’t my home But tonight the line is drawn Like a scar across the sand If you only love my rescue You don’t love the man Final Chorus You only call me when you’re sinking When your sky is falling down When your world is burning ashes I’m the one still around But I’m done being your lifeline While I’m drowning in the deep Yeah I’m everybody’s hero When they need me But who’s there When I need me
