Charlie Puth
Hero
[Verse 1]
I wanna stop by and play it cool
It's hard to talk with all these people in your room
I try to lock eyes and give you clues
So you can come and follow me out by the pool (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
My blood pressure elevates
When I call you out for bein' fake
And I don't want to be mean
But I'm not gonna shut up instead
I know who you really are
And your so-called "friends," quotation marks
I don't wanna make a scene
She cut me off and that's when she said

[Chorus]
"I don't need a hero, I don't want to be saved"
But I said, "I'll be here every night and day," oh
I don't need a hero, but if you let me stay
Oh, I can still be here every night and day, oh

[Verse 2]
You hide your feelings (Hide your feelings), you medicate (You medicate)
You're doin' shit that's keepin' both of us awake
Make me the villain (Make me the villain), I know it helps
But I'm not gonna run like everybody else (No)
[Pre-Chorus]
My blood pressure elevates
When I call you out for bein' fake
And I don't want to be mean
But I'm not gonna shut up instead
I know who you really are (Really are)
And your so-called "friends," quotation marks
I don't wanna make a scene
She cut me off and that's when she said

[Chorus]
"I don't need a hero, I don't want to be saved" (Don't want to be saved)
But I said, "I'll be here every night and day," oh
I don't need a hero, but if you let me stay (If you let me stay)
Oh, I can still be here every night and day, oh

[Post-Chorus]
(I don't need a hero)
Oh (Oh, I said, "I'll be here," oh)

[Bridge]
Lovin' you ain't easy, but I'm never gonna stop it
I know that night I lost my head and I was bein' out of pocket
I wasn't tryna start a fight or tell you how to live your life
I just wanted (I just wanted)
You to know I fuckin' cared, and she said
[Chorus]
"I don't need a hero, I don't want to be saved" (I don't want to be saved)
But I said, "I'll be here every night and day," oh (Oh)
I don't need a hero, but if you let me stay (If you let me stay)
Oh, I can still be here every night and day, oh

[Post-Chorus]
(I don't need a hero, I don't want to be saved)
Oh (But I said, "I'll be here")
Every night and day, oh

[Outro]
I don't need a hero, but if you let me stay
Oh, I can still be here every night and day, oh
