hero or not

I'm no hero
You've made that clear enough
No, I'm not the hero for the job

You built me up
You tore me down
I've had enough
What happens now?

There's nothing in my way anymore

The world needed a hero, and I stood by
You told me the best thing to do was hide
'Cause the villains in stories always die
And that was you and I

You built me up
You tore me down
I've had enough
I'm older now

No, there's nothing in my way

Here we are again, picking a fight
I'm no hero, about that you were right
It always feels like I'm on the wrong side
I think it's different tonight

You tore me up
I pushed you down
Have you had enough?
It's over now

Yeah, now you're out of my way

I'm not the hero for the job, you made that clear
But right now I'm the only one here
It's time I stood up and faced my fear
Yeah we need a her-o

I'm standing up
I won't stop now
If it's enough
I'll fight somehow

The hero the world needs, not the one it deserves
Yeah, the one it needs, not the one it deserves
I'm the hero the world needs, not the one it deserves, not the one it deserves

I'm not the hero for the job, you made that clear
But right now I'm the only one here
It's time I stood up and faced my fear
Yeah we need a her-o, a hero

I'm standing up
I won't stop now
If it's enough
I'll fight somehow

Hero or not
There's nothing in my way
