Hardly The Hero

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
