Everyone Wants To Be The Hero (Cover)

[Verse 1] You post your highlight reels Cut out the doubt The shakes You crop the crowded frame So it’s your story Your face You say “I’ve got this Easy” While your hands still faintly shake You laugh so loud in public Then go home and watch it break [Chorus] Everyone wants to be the hero (hero) Capes made out of fragile skin (skin) Smiling on the burning building (burning) Hiding how the smoke gets in (gets in) Everyone wants to be the hero (the hero) Pose up on the highest stone (atones) But every legend on the poster Once walked home alone [Verse 2] You practice answers nightly For questions no one asks You’re scared of being average So you overplay the mask You cheer for every stranger So they don’t look too close at you You save the world in stories But who will save you too? [Chorus] Everyone wants to be the hero (hero) Capes made out of fragile skin (skin) Smiling on the burning building (burning) Hiding how the smoke gets in (gets in) Everyone wants to be the hero (the hero) Pose up on the highest stone (atones) But every legend on the poster Once walked home alone [Bridge] What if the bravest thing Is saying “I can’t today”? What if the golden crown Is just your name Said the honest way? Maybe the smallest step Counts more than all the show Maybe the hero Is you When you let them know [Guitar solo] [Chorus] Everyone wants to be the hero (hero) Capes made out of fragile skin (skin) Smiling on the burning building (burning) Hiding how the smoke gets in (within) Everyone wants to be the hero (the hero) Trying not to feel alone (alone) So I’ll be human in your story If you’ll be human in my own
