Just because they seem to understand the way they feel,
It doesn't mean they'll feel the same way too,
Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life,
It just doesn't follow that they'll be just like you.
Take no heroes,
It's no good,
They don't stand up to you,
Just take the bits you think that they can use.
I remember when I was younger,
I thought the answers were locked in people,
So I admired the ones whose lives were a source of envy to people like me.
But do you really want to meet,
The ones who write your dreams,
Believe me, it's a fantasy,
You won't like the reality.
If you want heroes keep them safe,
They don't stand up to life,
So lock them in your soul and lose the key.
(I love you, I don't want to meet you.)
When I see you it makes me feel,
There's someone else out there like me,
You touch my soul with what you do,
It all makes sense when I hear you.
You understand the way I feel,
I know exactly what you mean,
It's like i've known you all my life,
I think of you I feel alright.
But in the flesh how would it be,
If you could really see,
The weaknesses you never knew,
Alive and staring back at you.
If you want heroes keep them safe,
They don't stand up to life,
So lock them in your soul and lose the key.
