[Verse 1]
I held the door for you
I gave you my name
You wore a clean face
While you sharpened the blade
Every promise you made
Left a bruise on the floor
I called you my спас
You called me a war
[Pre-Chorus]
And I waited for light
You fed me the smoke
I reached for your hand
You tightened the rope
When I was sinking
You smiled at the scene
You said, "Stay down there"
Like you wanted me mean
[Chorus]
I needed a hero
You fed me the knife
I needed a shelter
You burned down my life
They turned on me, laughing
While I was in pain
I needed a hero
You wore the villain's name
[Verse 2]
The ones at my table
They drank my last hope
They took what I built
Then they watched it implode
You stood in the doorway
Clapping for the fall
As I stared at the ruins
You gave them your all
[Pre-Chorus]
And I waited for truth
You sold me the lie
I reached for the sun
You covered the sky
When I was breaking
You called it a game
You said I was nothing
Then said I was to blame
[Chorus]
I needed a hero
You fed me the knife
I needed a shelter
You burned down my life
They turned on me, laughing
While I was in pain
I needed a hero
You wore the villain's name
[Bridge]
Now the smoke has cleared
And I see your face
Nothing but hunger
Hidden in lace
You wanted my heart
Like a prize to take
But I learned your lesson
I bend, I don't break
[Final Chorus]
I needed a hero
You fed me the knife
I needed a shelter
You burned down my life
They turned on me, laughing
While I was in pain
I needed a hero
You wore the villain's name
I needed a hero
Now I know your game
