Hero - Weezer Lyrics

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 want the glory, I don't want the fame
And I don't wanna wear that cape

'Cause on the inside
I know it won’t last
On the inside
I’m an outcast

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

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 buzz of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
Am I down hard, like on Iron Fist?
Just disappear like I don’t exist

'Cause on the inside
I know it won’t last
On the inside
I’m an outcast

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

Hero, oh, oh

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
