If you want to be my hero, please go away.
I've been "saved" so many times
But my "heroes" never stay.
I will spend hours focusing on you
Only to watch you fail me
Like I know every hero will do.

I used to have a hero
I called him my sunshine
even though it often rained
He was my only lifeline.
He promised me the sun, moon, and stars.
thank God he isn't here,
The sky would be so dark.
Out of all my heroes
he's the only that I kissed
now that he's gone,
He's the one most missed.

I used to know a hero
and his name was Sam
He loved me like no other could
but he doesn't give a ****.
He talked to me every single day
and opened my eyes
then he up and moved away.
He wrote me after a short while
to say that he was married
and expecting a child.

I remember a hero
who went by the name of Will
He gave the best of hugs,
I remember them still.
He whisked away my fears
and swept me off me feet
But he was hiding many tears.
With circumstances so grim
He tried to be my hero
But it was I who saved him.

There once was a hero
who did it almost right
he saved me from a dangerous fall
and left that very night.
Though his name was Vic
He called himself spiderman
Like the hero of some flick.
His one mistake was terribly small
he accidentally stole my heart
and never came back at all.

Call me a hopeless child
But I don't believe in heroes
Isn't that wild?
If you have the time
Do me a favor and **** your heroes
before they end up like mine.
