[Intro – Spoken, sarcastic] Yeah... Look, I ain't sayin' I'm a bad guy. I'm just sayin'... You knew what you signed up for. Ha! Listen. [Verse 1 – Playful, Cocky Rap] She said she wants a gentleman, I said, "Well, that's a shame," 'Cause the last one that she dated got a tattoo of her name. Now she's sittin' in my kitchen, drinkin' coffee, actin' strange, Talkin' 'bout how all these men are really just the same. Wait— You met me at a party, I was barely standin' straight, Now you're askin' where we're goin' and I'm lookin' for escape. I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty, girl, you're definitely a ten, But you can't turn a one-night story into "Here we go again." Got a text at half past midnight, "Are you thinking about me?" I was thinkin' 'bout a pizza and a movie on TV. Now she's posting little quotes about the man I'm meant to be, Girl, you fell for your imagination, that ain't me! [Pre-Chorus – Half-Sung] Oh, here we go again, Another story with a bitter end. You keep lookin' for a man to save your life, But I can barely save mine! [Chorus – Catchy, Melodic] I ain't your hero, baby, I ain't your man, I ain't the one who's gonna understand. You want forever, I want tonight, You want the stars, I just want the sky. Oh no, no, no, don't fall for me, I'm everything you think I shouldn't be. You want a halo, I got horns instead, I'm not the guy you made up in your head. [Post-Chorus – Rhythmic Vocal Hook] Na-na-na, don't call me! Na-na-na, don't fall for me! You want love, I want peace, Girl, why can't you let me breathe? [Verse 2 – Faster Flow, Sarcastic] Okay, now hold up, lemme get a little something straight, You were single when I met you, now you're planning out a date. With my mother, with my brother, with my cousin and my mates, Girl, you haven't met my dog yet, pump the brakes! She said, "Where's this going?" I said, "Probably downhill." She said, "Boy, you're joking." I said, "Yeah, but still..." Now she's crying on the phone, telling everybody lies, Like I promised her a wedding with a castle in the sky. I got problems, I got baggage, I got laundry on the floor, I got unpaid parking tickets from a couple months before. I ain't looking for a soulmate, I'm just looking for my keys, And you're asking if I love you while I'm trying to leave! See, it's funny how the truth becomes a problem when it's spoken, Everybody wants a promise till the promise ends up broken. So I tell 'em what it is, but they hear what they believe, Then they blame me for the fantasy they wouldn't let me leave. [Chorus – Bigger, Layered Vocals] I ain't your hero, baby, I ain't your man, I ain't the one who's gonna understand. You want forever, I want tonight, You want the stars, I just want the sky. Oh no, no, no, don't fall for me, I'm everything you think I shouldn't be. You want a halo, I got horns instead, I'm not the guy you made up in your head. [Bridge – Stripped Beat, Conversational] Look... Maybe one day I'll grow up. Maybe one day I'll settle down. Maybe one day I'll find somebody Who can stand having me around. But right now? I'm a walking contradiction. I want love without the friction. I want freedom, want attention, Then I run from the connection. Yeah... Maybe I'm the problem. Funny how that works, huh? [Verse 3 – Aggressive, Double-Time] I got a habit of attracting all the things I wanna lose, Then I act like I'm surprised when they get tired of my excuses. Got a mouth full of jokes and a head full of bruises, Make a mess, call it fate, then complain about the consequences. I'm the king of mixed signals, got a crown made of static, Say I hate all the drama, but my life's automatic. Every time somebody gets close, I panic, Turn a beautiful thing into a disappearing act, damn it! See, I ain't gonna lie, I've been a jerk in the past, Made a couple good women wish they'd never met my ass. And I laugh about it now, but the laughter never lasts, When you're driving home alone with your reflection in the glass. So don't call me a villain, don't crown me a saint, I'm a man with a mouth and a couple mistakes. I can tell you that I care, but I can't make you stay, And I can't be your rescue when I'm lost anyway! [Final Chorus – Full Beat, Female Backing Harmonies] I ain't your hero, baby, I ain't your man, I ain't the one who's gonna understand. You want forever, I want tonight, You want the stars, I just want the sky. Oh no, no, no, don't fall for me, I'm everything you think I shouldn't be. You want a halo, I got horns instead, I'm not the guy you made up in your head. [Outro – Spoken, Beat Fading] Yeah... Maybe I'm not boyfriend material. Maybe I'm just... A really expensive lesson. Ha! Whatever. Call me when you get home, though. ...Damn it.
