[Verse 1]
She was only a girl when it all went down
When her heart was broken, broken, beaten to the ground
She deserves the whole world, but how it all played out
Left her heart so broken, broken all the way around

[Pre-Chorus]
She was born a dreamer, but life did her dirty
It left her all alone with no one to call home
She was only a lover, but deep inside was hurtin'
With tear stains on her face

[Chorus]
I watched her smile through the pain
Laugh as her heart was stripped away
Give all her love and take the hate
Cover the hurt with her best face
Yeah, to most she's just a stranger
But she's a hero in my eyes

[Post-Chorus]
She's a hero in my eyes
She's a hero in my eyes

[Verse 2]
She was only a girl when she left her home
Had to get out, run away, it left her all alone (Ooh)
She was only a girl when it all went down
When she set out on that lonely, lonely, lonely road
[Pre-Chorus]
She was born a dreamer, but life did her dirty
It left her all alone with no one to call home
She was only a lover, but deep inside was hurtin'
With tear stains on her face

[Chorus]
I watched her smile through the pain
Laugh as her heart was stripped away
Give all her love and take the hate
Cover the hurt with her best face
Yeah, to most she's just a stranger (Ayy)
But she's a hero in my eyes (Ayy)

[Post-Chorus]
She's a hero in my eyes (Yeah)
Ayy, she's a hero in my eyes
She's a hero in my eyes
She's a hero in, a hero in my eyes

[Outro]
My eyes
You'll always be, always be a hero in my eyes
