lyrics

I could write my life better
I wouldn’t act like a child
When I’m disappointed in what I think, I’ll live in pencil instead of ink
Then I’ll have fate on my side

I’ve got a scar on my forehead
I’m more important than you
Tell me I’m special and I'll agree, Give me the life that my life could be
All that I want to do
Is be a hero, and when I mess up, in the end it'll be alright
If I’m a hero, I could be a man if I had something to fight
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa), if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa), if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)

I'm going back to my hometown
They ask for stories from me
So what new adventure will make me cool, living for girls from my old high school
Be what they want you to be

Is be a hero, and when I mess up, in the end it'll be alright
If I’m a hero, I could be a man if I had something to fight
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa) if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa) if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)

And I can’t give it all up, and be nothing again
Because if I’m not the hero, do I die in the end
I’ll be a hero…

I’ll be a hero, and when I mess up, in the end it'll be alright
If I’m a hero, I could be a man if I had something to fight
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa) if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)
If I’m a hero (whoa whoa) if I’m a hero (whoa whoa)
