Hero

Lately it's just been a lot on my mind I've been searching for myself, scared of what I might find Feel like I'm living in the same chapter, stuck in rewind Could never see what came after, now I'm going in blind I'm no stranger to the darker side of life and I know it Getting darker, drifting farther with the way things are going Everywhere I try to turn it's like the rain won't stop pouring I try to ignore it and say that my own health ain't important But every step I take ahead ends up taking me back Every single light that's shining slowly dims into black Under pressure, battle tested, I know how to react But it ain't easy fighting battles where the only attacks Are coming from everyone else, not a bullet from my side Maybe I won't make it but I promise that I tried Promised that nobody'd ever see it when I cry Call it what you want but I'm still faithful to my pride It's hard to be open, it's hard to be me It's hard to be happy, yeah, it's hard to be free It's hard to be strong out here, it's hard to believe It's hard to be a hero, it's hard to be Hear they calling me to action, I'm not sure if I'm ready On the ship and I'm the captain, barely keeping it steady Every wave is like a hurricane, numb to it novocaine Going over life and there are things I'm regretting When I look back to every moment I showed weakness And let the tears come rolling down my face got rivers streaking And smile oh so bright to light my life up at it's bleakest Was searching for a sign but I discovered I don't need it, yeah To the next fight, to the next round, to the next wall I'm climbing In the starlight, feeling alright, in the dark night I'm shining Hero, feeling fear though, need a savior, I'm trying If I said that I was not scared then I guess I was lying Living in my darkest hour, these are troubled times Facing fear despite the fear that's welled up in my eyes If I'm really at the brink and this is do or die Then I'm walking through the fire, and I testify It's hard to be open, it's hard to be me It's hard to be happy, yeah, it's hard to be free It's hard to be strong out here, it's hard to believe It's hard to be a hero, it's hard to be I'll be a hero, I'll be your hero Don't matter if it's all on me, I'm here if you call on me And I'll be your hero, if you need a hero Don't matter if you call on me, pick you up if you fall on me It's hard to be open, it's hard to be me It's hard to be happy, yeah, it's hard to be free It's hard to be strong out here, it's hard to believe It's hard to be a hero, it's hard to be
