You put me on a pedestal, you believed in me
You put your faith in someone unworthy
I proudly wore the mantle of a hero's crown
But now, whatever I do, I just let you down
You saw a savior in me for whom you'd applaud
But in reality, I'm just a fool, a phony, a fraud
I said I'd lead you through the pouring rain
But all I showed you all was failure and pain
I'm not the hero you once thought I was
I'm just a guy struggling with my flaws
I've failed you more times than I can count
But in your eyes, there's no judgment or doubt
You keep believing, though I'm lost and scared
That I'll rise up when the time is there
I'm not the hero you thought I was
But with you beside me, maybe I can be one
Through every struggle, I seized the lead
That's not leading, that's ego and greed
I thought I knew what real strength meant
But I was blinded by power, hell-bent
You stood beside me, I don't know why you stayed
While I stumbled along like a fool stuck in my own way
You trusted me, though I fell short for a while
But you stood by me, through every fight, every trial
I'm not the hero you once thought I was
I'm just a guy struggling with my flaws
I've failed you more times than I can count
But in your eyes, there's no judgment or doubt
You keep believing, though I'm lost and scared
That I'll rise up when the time is there
I'm not the hero you thought I was
But with you beside me, maybe I can be one
I see now that leading means we all must share
Our burdens and the hopes, our dreams lay bare
I can't be the leader of this epic fight
If I can't trust you all to do what's right
I'm not the hero you once thought I was
I'm just a guy struggling with my flaws
I've failed you more times than I can count
But in your eyes, there's no judgment or doubt
You keep believing, though I'm lost and scared
That I'll rise up when the time is there
I'm not the hero you thought I was
But with you beside me
Maybe I can be one
I'm not the hero you thought I was
But I've found the strength in all of us
I'll rise up when the time is near
With you beside me, I'll have no fear
I'm not the hero you once thought I was
But I'm learning to lead, with your trust and love
