I don't want to be a hero,

I don't want to ever let you down,

No I don't want to let you down

I can try to take you higher,

But I don't want to wear your broken crown,

Ya know it brings me down



Don't think you'll ever understand me

I don't even understand me

Don't have the power to annoint you

And I don't want to disappoint

The fools no more

The fools no more



I couldn't answer all your questions,

And if your're lost

I couldn't find your way

I couldn't find your way

You know you have to face the music,

You change your tune

And don't know what to play,

So don't you run away



Everybody's talking crazy

Some think I am a dare

And I may be

I don't want to hear about it

Don't want to have to scream and shout at

The fools no more

The fools no more



(solo)



So I don't want to be a hero,

Don't want to sit upon your crippled throne,

I've got a life of my own

I am not your destination,

Or a road that's gonna lead you home,

So baby please don't go
