Hero

It was one of those great stories

That you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do

And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me

And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was right or wrong

He just knew, he just knew

Shadow and shape mix together at dawn

But by the time you catch them, simplicity's gone

So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I

Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky

And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was right or wrong

He just knew, he just knew

And we wonder, yes, we wonder

How do you make sense of this?

When the hero kills the maiden with his kiss

With his kiss

Well, it was one of those great stories

That you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do

And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me

Were that simple for me
