[Intro]
I used to wanna be a hero
Live long enough for me to come save the day
Used to wanna be a hero
Now I don't even know if I'ma be okay

[Verse 1]
I think I'd rather give it up than to give it my all
Too afraid to fly 'cause they want me to fall
I said to follow me to the ends of the earth
Well, take a look around, do you see any worth?
I'm sick of all the demons that I got to my name
And every other day, there's a new flavor of pain
I've been told put in the work, but I don't know what it takes
And now the star I try to follow just gets farther away

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I've been running, running, running 'til I hit the ground
I've been searching for forever, don't know what I found
I used to love the taste, but now I hate the sound
Tell me, when's it gonna come around?

[Chorus]
I used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Live long enough for me to come save the day
Used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Now I don't even know if I'ma be okay
So tell me, what's it gonna be?
I got nowhere to go and I just wanna leave, wanna leave
No, I'm not tryna be a hero
I'm just tryna be
[Verse 2]
Another year around a sun that's waitin' to burn
Another year of lessons I don't think that I learned
Another day, another night and then it's rinse and repeat
Another day, another fight with something inside of me
And now I said too many times "There's no stoppin' us now"
But I can't shut out the voices sayin' "It's not allowed"
We were young and so ambitious, there was no lookin' down
I used to have so many friends, now I'm a ghost town

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been running, running, running, don't know what I'd find
When all I really wanted was a place to hide
I used to love the rush, but now I hate the ride
I'm sick of the shit in my mind

[Chorus]
I used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Live long enough for me to come save the day
Used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Now I don't even know if I'ma be okay
So tell me, what's it gonna be?
I got nowhere to go and I just wanna leave, wanna leave
No, I'm not tryna be a hero
I'm just tryna be
[Bridge]
No, don't try to save me now
'Cause you don't even know me now
And I'll bet you couldn't save yourself
I'll bet you told nobody else

[Chorus]
I used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Live long enough for me to come save the day
Used to wanna be a hero (Woah)
Now I don't even know if I'ma be okay
So tell me, what's it gonna be?
I got nowhere to go and I just wanna leave, wanna leave
No, I'm not tryna be a hero
I'm just tryna be
