Mr. Hero.

You walked through life, alone for so long

Left sad and broken by the ways of the world

You sit in the dark so they can't see your scars

You hate this feeling, of not feeling at all

So when they cry out, who answers the call?

They call you a hero

The man who’s got it all together

You can save them all

But who’s going to save you?

You care so much, about everybody else

You run to help every cat stuck in a tree

But who here cares about the man who saved the girl?

He sure doesn’t, cause they destroyed his world

He sits alone, broken and defeated

Thoughts swirling round

It's out of control

Hes going mad, but no one seems to mind

“He seems ok” Maybe you should look twice

The hero doesn’t care, what happens to himself

Long as everyone is happy

Who cares that he's falling apart

While everyone goes out, he stays in

“Wouldn’t want someone to be hurt while Im gone” he says

He stares at the wall, and thinks about his life

He wonders what went wrong, and why they couldn’t have gone right

The hero sits alone

The pain ready to burst

Everyone is happy, his work here is done

He hears a scream of terror

And looks to see whats wrong

The mirror only tells him

What he knew all along
