No More Heroes

I used to run in, cape on my back…

Now I watch the fire burn from the outside…

No more heroes…

Used to fight for ‘em, bleed for ‘em, gave ‘em my all,

Jumped in the flames, but they let me fall.

Pulled ‘em from the wreckage, hands full of scars,

But when I was down, no one reached that far.

I ain't made of steel, I ain't bulletproof,

You only love me when I stand in front of you.

Tried to be the light, but the world stayed cold,

Now I’m lost in the dark with a heart turned stone.

Tired of the weight, tired of the pain,

Tired of saving when nothing will change…

No more heroes, no more saving grace,

Let the fire rise, watch it take my place.

I was fighting wars I was never meant to win,

Now I let it burn, I won’t fight again.

No more heroes, no more broken dreams,

No more standing tall when I’m torn at the seams.

I was holding on but the city let me drown,

Now I fade away, I won’t turn around.

Ohhh… ohhh…

Let it burn, let it burn…

I was their shield, now I walk unarmed,

Gave ‘em my soul, now I’m battle-scarred.

Watched ‘em beg, watched ‘em plead,

Then they left me when it was **me** on my knees.

Not a savior, not a saint,

No more capes, no more chains.

Built ‘em up, just to tear me down,

Now I watch from the wreckage, I don’t make a sound.

I used to believe, I used to try,

Now I just watch as the stars collide…

No more battles, no more fights,

Let the city fade into the night…

No more heroes, no more saving grace,

Let the fire rise, watch it take my place.

I was fighting wars I was never meant to win,

Now I let it burn, I won’t fight again.

No more heroes, no more broken dreams,

No more standing tall when I’m torn at the seams.

I was holding on but the city let me drown,

Now I fade away, I won’t turn around.

No more heroes…

No more heroes…
