Weezer - Hero lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world Running 'round and chasing all the criminals Swinging on a web, flying in the sky Shooting lasers from my eyes But now I know it never was my destiny It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame And I don't wanna wear this cape [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause on the inside (On the inside), I know it won't last On the inside (On the inside), I'm an outcast [Chorus] Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah [Verse 2] They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery But life is hard enough with one identity If silence is the voice of a new generation Then I could live up to all of your expectations I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist Then disappear like I don't exist [Pre-Chorus] And on the inside (On the inside), I know it won't last On the inside (On the inside), I'm an outcast [Chorus] Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah [Bridge] Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh [Chorus] Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
