Everybody Needs A Hero

don't be disheartened about it
you know i'll get there in time
no woman can be an island
but I can sure as hell try

I know i've made you insecure
that I need you, you need me more
and that's the story i'm sticking to

I know I've tested your patience
me and my brave face
i'm hoping you'll still be there
so I can say

honey I don't have much time
my parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
everybody needs a hero

you know I hate to admit it
it makes me wanna throw up
i'd like to make an announcement
I'm not as tough as I look

I know i've tested your patience
been pushing you away
I'm hoping you'll still be there so I can say

honey I don't have much time
my parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
everybody needs a hero

I'll say I think I need you
you'll say I know you do
shut up!
it only hurts like this when you know it's true

my whole life been trying to fight it
what's the point though?
everybody needs a hero
everybody needs a hero
