Nobody's Hero

[Verse 1]

Built it up, knock it down

Wear your 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

Dwell 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?

[Chorus]

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

I'm nobody's champion

[Verse 2]

Chant your name, sing its song

Burn a fire all night long

Make a protest cut that rug

Anesthetized 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?

[Chorus]

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

I'm nobody's champion

[Bridge]

No one's Idol, no one's saint

I'm no one's lionheart

With every kind of mess I make

How can I be your guiding star?

[Chorus]

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

I'm nobody's champion

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero

I'm nobody's champion
