I need a hero to save me
Someone mightier than I
Somebody to set me free

Mr. Hero hold me tight
I don't know what I did wrong
I'm losing my will to fight

I've taken all I can take
This world's a rather dark place
Filled with so much heartache

There's this girl I used to know
The world rotated faster
Than she could possibly grow

She stumbled and dropped her crown
So the world darted past her
Ignoring tears she choked down

Their hatred tore her apart
But she had done nothing wrong
Congrats! You all broke her heart

Oh pretty please Mr. Hero
We didn't learn how to swim
Now we're drowning in sorrow

He grew up all on his own
'Cause he didn't fit the picture
He wasn't a perfect clone

Their words were venomous spit
And it wasn't long at all
Before he started believing it

He looked out at the crowd below
With tears in his eyes and he said
I'm sorry I can't take another blow

Mr. Hero this world needs you
The dark days are long and awful
And the happy days are short and few

Mr. Hero I'm on the ground
They keep hurting me
And you're nowhere to be found

So maybe I should stand on my own
Yeah I'mma stand up for myself
Oh no I don't need you Mr. Hero
