• Remember that day
    I sat on your bed
    and poured my soul out to you?
    Remember how I feel asleep
    (we were having a sleep over at your place)
    smiling, just a soft smile?
    You took a picture of it.
    You didn't know it,
    but that was the first time
    I had truly smiled
    in a long time.
    You had been my hero,
    and I swore that
    one day
    I would be yours.
    But you don't need a hero do you?

    I can hear it now,
    it's late at night
    your boyfriend's yelling at you
    he's gonna start a fight.
    I get up and run to your door,
    but darling,
    heh darling he's already gone.
    You hit him upside the head and
    tossed his junk out the door.
    He won't be coming back here
    any more.
    You don't need a hero,
    do you?

    I want to return the favor,
    I want to be a hero
    because all my life I needed one,
    and there you were.

    I can hear you
    crying
    and I don't know why,
    but I crawl closer to you
    and wrap my arms around you
    and let you cry.
    All along
    you were holding a smile
    and acting tough
    but all you needed
    was a hero,
    didn't you?

    You had been my hero,
    and I swore that
    one day
    I would be yours.
    And now I am.
    I'm your hero, baby.
    I'm your hero.
