[Intro]

You said you’d be my

[Verse 1]

You said “I’m here”, but you’re half-gone

Talk like truth with a fake calm

I was falling in real time

You were looking for a better crime

I gave my heart, no disguise

You gave excuses in designer lies

[Pre-Chorus]

I was calling you at my worst

You were already gone first

I needed arms, you needed noise

I needed love, you needed choice

[Chorus]

I wanted you to be my hero

Stand your ground, don’t let go

But you ran, you ran with the villain

Left me bleeding in the еcho

I wanted you to be my hero

Stay whеn it’s hard, not hollow

You picked the dark, I picked myself

Now I don’t need you to save me, no

[Post-Chorus]

Be my hero

Be my hero

Be my hero

[Verse 2]

You love danger dressed in gold

I loved you honest, I loved you whole

You chase the high, the flash, the roar

I stayed when it got uncomfortable

I built a fire to keep us warm

You watched it burn and called it love

[Pre-Chorus]

I was praying you’d choose me once

You were busy being someone else

If I was the war inside your chest

You still chose the side that helped you win

[Chorus]

I wanted you to be my hero

Stand your ground, don’t let go

But you ran, you ran with the villain

Left me bleeding in the echo

I wanted you to be my hero

Stay when it’s hard, not hollow

You picked the dark, I picked myself

Now I don’t need you to save me, no

[Post-Chorus]

Be my hero

Be my hero

Be my hero

[Bridge]

I wrote your name in my prayers

Like you were listening somewhere

I thought love meant losing skin

To keep you standing taller than me

I would’ve stayed through the storm

You left the second it poured

So if this pain made me stronger

Then you were never my savior at all

(Be my hero)

[Breakdown]

You were never my—

(Be my hero)

[Chorus]

I wanted you to be my hero

But you folded under pressure

You ran straight into the villain

Guess you love the bad behavior

I wanted you to be my hero

Now I’m breathing so much better

You don’t get the ending you wanted

I saved myself, I’m the winner

[Outro]

I wanted you to be my hero

Well, I

I was mine all along
