Built it up knock it down Wear your love like a crown Keep the faith in my head, in my heart, in my bed Promise me, faithfully, find out what it means to be Here today, gone tomorrow, too much pain, too much sorrow Cry it out, let it bleed Wait until the waves recede Rip apart what's in my hand, dewll upon what's not been said Rue the loss of innocence, no release, no recompense How long will this whole thing take? Will it bend or will it break? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion Chant your name, sing its song Burn a fire all night long Make a protest, cut that rug Anaesthetised like a drug Count the cost of a new start, poisoned well, broken heart? Will I stand or will I shake? Is it real or is it fake? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion No one's idol, no one's saint, I'm no one's Lionheart With every kind of mess I make How can I be your guiding star? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion
