• The one thing I can't be,
    Is the one thing you need to see:
    Hero to you and hero to me,
    Sorry, girl, but that just ain't me.

    I can't be always waiting there,
    But girl, know this, I really do care.
    Let me know when and let me know where,
    I'll try my best, still can't always be there.

    Everyone's hero,
    It's what they want.
    Everyone's hero,
    It's what I'm not.

    Everyone's hero,
    Including me.
    Everyone's hero,
    I can't be.

    Stand alone, I will see you,
    Shed a tear, I will comfort you.
    You know that i can't be there,
    But you know that I do care.

    Don't ever forget the words i said,
    Don't let my voice ever leave your head.
    Don't let us all down, you know you can't be:
    Everyone's hero, cuz you know you ain't me.

    Everyone's hero,
    It's what they want.
    Everyone's hero,
    It's what I'm not.

    Always inside me,
    I'll hope you stay;
    To keep you beside me,
    I'll pray and pray.

    When I am gone, then you will know,
    You know I had no place left to go.
    I failed my friends, cuz I can't be:
    Everyone's hero, can't you see?

    Everyone wants me to be there,
    They think that's how I show I care.
    But they don't know me, now do they?
    Don't they see that I can't stay?

    i failed them all and failed life, too,
    I wish that I could be with you.
    I won't come back no more, my friends.
    I guess that means this is the end.

    Say no more, don't make me cry,
    I know it's hard to say goodbye.
    But I can't be there all the time,
    And so you'll all stay in my mind.

    Everyone's hero, you can be,
    When you know that it ain't me.
    I've gone and left the job to you,
    So you can show what you can do.

    Everyone's hero, yes sirree,
    Everyone's hero is you, not me.
    Goodbye now, I've got to go,
    If I come back, I'll let you know.

    Everyone's hero just ain't me...
    Everyone's hero just ain't me...
