Nobody’s Hero

Built it up knock it down
Wear you love like a crown
Keep the faith in my head,
in my heart, in my bed
Promise me, faithfully,
find out what it means to be
Here today, gone tomorrow,
too much pain, too much sorrow
Cry it out, let it bleed
Wait until the waves recede
Rip apart what’s in my hand,
dewll upon what’s not been said
Rue the loss of innocence
no release no recompense
How long will this whole thing take?
Will it bend or will it break?
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
I’m nobody’s champion
Chant your name, sing its song
Burn a fire all night long
Make a protest cut that rug
Anaesthetised like a drug
Count the cost of a new start,
poisoned well, broken heart?
Will I stand or will I shake?
Is it real or is it fake?
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
I’m nobody’s champion
No one’s Idol, no one’s Saint
I’m no one’s Lion Heart
With every kind of mess I make
How can I be you guiding star?
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
Nobody’s hero
I’m nobody’s champion
