Lyrics
Hard To Be Your Hero
© 1993 Chris Crabtree - all rights reserved.
Maybe I should go for a walk
Instead of sitting around here in the dark
Maybe we should try to work it out
But that's harder than I thought
Maybe we should have a talk
Instead of throwing salt
Into each other's open wounds
It's nobody's fault
If only I could be more of the man you want to know...
But it's hard to be your hero
You don't realize
That it's hard when you feel so emotionally paralyzed
It's hard to be your hero
Don't you see? Don't you see that it's true?
Maybe I should forgive
Instead of dwelling on regret
It's no kind of way to live
But it's hard letting go of it
I'd take a bullet for you
I'd untie you from those tracks
With that train bearing down on you
I'd be holding nothing back
But when I try to fly
You know I fall
You know I try and I try
Yes, I'm giving it my all
But it's hard to be your hero
You don't realize
That it's hard when you feel so emotionally paralyzed
It's hard to be your hero
It must be hard
To be mine too.
