i am no hero

don't look for me in the spotlight

don't think that i am the one

who brightens your lives

and endlessly strives

to live a life in the sun

i will never shine

i'll never be beautiful

and i will never be yours

she made it clear

i should stay right here

so you can be sure. that i am no hero

i can't answer your prayers

no matter how i feel inside

i know that nobody cares

for i am no hero

and when you look to the sky

you will never see my face

you'll never see me cry

this is the real me

unashamed

but not unafraid

i won't say i'm sorry

for who i was

i can't say i've never strayed

far from the light

away from the path

that all the righteous have tread

but i'll never lie

no i'll never try

to claim i'm perfect instead

for i am no hero

i can't answer your prayers

no matter how it feels inside

i know that nobody cares

for i am no hero

and when you look to the sky

you will never see my face

you'll never see me cry

no i am not perfect

i just wanna be

the one you look up to

in times of need

but you love another

i'll never be the same

when you're lonely like me

don't call for my name. don't call my name
