Emmy Curie - Heroes

{Intro/Refrain}
So you wanna be the hero, kid?
Be adored by everyone?

{Verse 1}
Cause no one can forget you
When you're the reason they have won
You want the fame, the attention
But more than anything
You're scared of fading to the background
Like you didn't mean a thing
It's nice to be liked
And it's nicer to be known
But just because there are more people
Doesn't mean that you're not alone
So you wanna be the hero?
Baby, don't we all
But you're forgetting the thing about heroes, kid
They always have to fall

{Chorus}
So be careful what you wish for
It'll certainly come true
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
But what you need to understand
Is heroes don't get a happily ever after

{Refrain}
So you wanna be the hero?
And pretend you're something more

{Verse 2}
But face it it's a ruse
You're a scared child at the core
You're not fighting any battles
Except the ones inside your head
You're nothing but a coward
No idea of what's ahead
I've been there, I've felt that
So trust me when I say
It's not all that it's cracked up to be
We're better off this way
So you wanna be the hero?
Run around and play pretend?
But you're forgetting the thing about heroes, kid
They all end up dead

{Chorus}
So be careful what you wish for
It'll certainly come true
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
But what you need to understand
Is heroes don't get a happily ever after, after
Woah oh

{Verse 3}
Too many people have told you "you're brave"
It's gone to your head
So don't mistake this all for strength
You had no options to choose from instead, instead, instead

{Chorus}
Be careful what you wish for
It'll certainly come true
Your world will tear apart till the sky is no longer blue
You can dream of glory, of love, and laughter
But what you need to understand
Is heroes don't
We don't
You won't

{Outro/Refrain}
So you still wanna be the hero?
Refuse to heed my advice
Go ahead and play the hero
Soon you'll have to pay the price
