To Be The Hero

Fissures in a set plan
Hushed voices, now nothing seems right
To fix it, I'll do what I can
To what is precious, I'll cling tight

You know I have always tried
To be the hero

Kindness swallowed by shadows
Sunrise, and the sky is not blue
Marks of those I've failed still grows
All I want is to protect you

Don't you know I've always wanted
To be The Hero

Soft tears in the dark
Another friend lost to the night
Lonely soul, to the skies embark
It seems I always lose the fight

I don't know what it takes
To be the hero

What do you make of me?
I'm not weak but I'm not strong
Falling down; tell me what you see
Speak the truth I've known all along

I don't know what it means
To be the hero
