[Intro]

I’ve gotten used to it

I don’t need anything in return

Never stopped to ask, “What’s in it for me?”

Although they needed it

Am I losing value in the process?

I guess the question is if they needed me

[Verse 1]

I want to block out what I’ve been telling myself

But it’s a cop-out if I don’t do anything for me

‘Cause right now, I’m only shifting the focus

To someone other than me

But it’s a lie to say that I won’t regret it

I gave up time that could have been better spent

On holding my end, or dialing it back

Because I can’t help but feel likе I can’t help myself at all

[Pre-Drop]

Why do you want to be thе hero?

You keep acting like you’ll be better off

It’s not like everybody needs you

So stop pretending you’re above yourself

Why do you want to be the hero?

You keep thinking they don’t know who you are

But it’s not like everybody needs you

Avoiding it can only go so far

[Drop]

[Bridge]

I never wanted to make amends

Because I never had thought that I could be your friend

I promised that I wouldn’t hurt myself again

But you know that I’m the one to play pretend

The one to bend the logic

But please tell me you saw it

If it was right in front of you, I’d hope you’d have the moment

The part where I’m the savior

The part where I can’t control behaviors

I know I can’t control behaviors

[Verse 2]

I want to block out what I’ve been telling myself

But it’s a shock how I’ll never do anything for me

‘Cause right now, I’ve been molding myself

Into someone who I’ll never be

But if I run time back I’ll see a part of the past

Where I had something to last me every step of the way

Something to fix the cracks I’ve grown from everyone else

That show me I’m only valued if I have something new to say

[Pre-Drop]

Why do you want to be the hero?

You keep thinking they don’t know who you are

But it’s not like everybody needs you

Avoiding it can only go so far

[Instrumental Break]
