You, At Least, Are Free.

I tried to shut off that part of me for you.
That hero we both despised.
Swore I wouldn’t be a sacrifice for good.
Didn’t mean to, but I lied.

Well, I guess it looks as though I’m meant to fly
Meant to save the earth again
I just can’t watch death walk down the sidewalk.
Before I think, I step right in.

I realize that we can’t be together.
Heroes give their hearts away.
And we both know you deserve a heart to keep.
You deserve someone to stay ,
Someone to save you at the end of the day.
And the hero in me sees
I’ve got to do what’s right, even if it kills me.
So, good bye, love. You are free.

“It was the right thing to do,” I tell myself,
As I watch you fall in love.
He isn’t a hero, but that’s what you need.
One lone tear falls from above.

I realize that we can’t be together.
Heroes give their hearts away.
And we both know you deserve a heart to keep.
You deserve true love to stay ,
And he can save you at the end of the day.
So the hero in me sees
I’ve got to do what’s right, even if it kills me.
Well, good bye, love. You are free.

I’ve got to do what’s right, even if it kills me.
I know this as I take the blows
I’ve got to do what’s right, even if it kills me.
But how it hurts, heaven knows.

I realize that we can’t be together.
I scream as I give my heart away.
Yet, we both know you have found a heart to keep.
You deserve true love to stay,
And he can save you at the end of the day.
So the hero in me sees
I’ve got to do what’s right, even if it kills me.
Good bye. You, at least, are free.
