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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
'Cause on the inside (On the inside)
I know it won't last
On the inside (On the inside)
I'm an outcast
[Verse 4]
Well, everybody needs a hero
But I'm not everybody else, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone, yeah
[Verse 5]
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, yeah
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
And on the inside (On the inside)
I know it won't last
On the inside (On the inside)
I'm an outcast
[Verse 9]
Well, everybody needs a hero
But I'm not everybody else, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone, yeah
[Verse 10]
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, yeah
[Verse 11]
Well, everybody needs a hero
But I'm not everybody else, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone, yeah
[Verse 12]
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, yeah
[Verse 13]
Well, everybody needs a hero
But I'm not everybody else, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone, yeah
[Verse 14]
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, yeah
