[Verse 1]
I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to ever let you down
No, I don't want to let you down
I could try to take you higher
But I don't want to wear a broken crown
You know it brings me down

[Chorus]
Don't think you'll ever understand me
I don't even understand me
Don't have the power to anoint you
And I don't want to disappoint
The fools no more [x2]

[Verse 2]
I couldn't answer all your questions
And if you're lost I couldn't find your way
I couldn't find your way
You know you have to face the music
You changed your tune and don't know what to play
So don't you run away

[Chorus]
Everybody's talking crazy
Some think I am a devil maybe
I don't want to hear about it
Don't want to have to scream and shout
At fools no more
The fools no more
[Verse 3]
So, I don't want to be a hero
Don't want to sit upon your crippled throne
I've got a life of my own
I am not your destination
Or a road that's going to lead you home
So, baby please don't go

[Outro]
Please don't go [x8]
