"Save The Hero" lyrics

I need saving
I need saving
I need saving
I need saving

Please, check on your strong friend
They're probably holding it all in
Telling you that it's OK
So no ones' on the way

Tryna save the world, but I can't even save myself
Dealing with the pain I felt
Been through the darkest of nights
When will I rise?
I need the light

Been through it all
Had a couple of set-backs
When I'm tryna fly
I need a couple of jet packs
You know that you can hit me up, when things get ugly
But when the last time you called and told me you love me?

I can't carry this all alone
I'm scared to be vulnerable
So, I hide all my flaws
While I barely hold on

I've been fighting
It just ain't right
I've been trying for my whole life
To keep you protected
Still getting rejected

I've been trying not to lose my life
While I move through the darkest night
With no one neglected
But where's everybody now?

Who's gonna save the hero?
Who's gonna save the hero?
Save me
Tell me, who's gonna save me now?

I done pushed away my loved ones, second-guessing
Triggered by explicit thoughts, while I'm in depression
But you ain't gotta hold on to your scars
I know you feel no one cares who you are

I thought about: while I'm still alive, would they give me roses?
Or if I died, how many days would it take for you to even notice?
Still alive
Despite how I feel inside
I know my people love me
They're struggling with their own things
I gotta be my own king
I'm fighting off my traumas
Can't sleep feeling locked up
Like a knee was on my neck
Like I can't breathe out of my lungs
When life hits you like a Mack truck
You get knocked down
Now, get back up
'Cause pain ain't gotta answer
I'm still strong, when I stand up
Having conversations with the old me
Lies tryna control me
Put me all in your prayers
I'm 'a be here for all of my homies
We ain't getting no trophies
From the young gunners to the OGs
My people know that I love 'em

And I've been fighting
It just ain't right
I've been trying for my whole life
To keep you protected
Still getting rejected

I've been trying not to lose my life
While I move through the darkest night
With no one neglected
But where's everybody now?

Who's gonna save the hero?
Who's gonna save the hero?
Save me
Tell me, who's gonna save me now?

Who's gonna save the hero?
Who's gonna save the hero?
Tell me, who's gonna save me now?
