Hero

I wanted to be a hero. I want to be a hero.
But I know I'll never be the hero that appears in fiction.
I won't be saving lives, I won't be changing futures.
I'm not doing anything that great - that's not the hero I wanted to be.

I wanted to be your hero. I want to be your hero.
But I know I'll never be the hero that appears in your dreams.
I won't be changing your life, I won't be helping you achieve your dreams.
I'm not doing anything for you - I couldn't do anything for you.

I told myself I'd be satisfied if you were happy.
I lied to myself and said that it was heroic to do that.
It seems no matter how much time passes, I can't let myself try to find happiness.
I just can't seem to take a chance on damaging your joy for my own.

It seems that I won't ever get to be that hero.
It seems I won't ever get to be your hero.
But I can be the watcher who cares too much for now.
And maybe, I can be a hero for someone else.
