Just an ordinary man Thrown into a life I didn't plan Suddenly my world has changed I'm unprepared to make my way My resolve is growing weak So unsure of who I'm supposed to be The one who takes the noble path Or the one who wants what he can never have
And I'm hardly the hero This is the only thing I know to do To make it through But I need you to believe That beneath this bravado I'd still give anything to have a chance To get you back And I'm hardly a hero for that
Exuberant and terrified Every time I look into your eyes But I can't entertain the thought Cuz we both know I'm not the man you thought I was
And I'm hardly the hero This is the only thing I know to do To make it through But I need you to believe That beneath this bravado I'd still give anything to have a chance To get you back And I'm hardly a hero for that
The ones I love will always be The ones who pay the price And so I set aside my dreams To do the thing that's right And keep it all inside
And I'm hardly the hero This is the only thing I know to do To make it through But I need you to believe That beneath this bravado I'd still give anything to have a chance To love again And I'm hardly the hero for that Yeah I'm hardly a hero
