"Everybody Needs A Hero" lyrics

Don't be disheartened about it
You know I'll get there in time
No woman can be an island
But I can sure as hell try

I know I've made you insecure
That I need you, you need me more
And that's the story I'm sticking to

I know I've tested your patience
Me and my brave face
I'm hoping you'll still be there
So I can say

Honey, I don't have much time
My parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
Stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
Everybody needs a hero

You know I hate to admit it
It makes me wanna throw up
I'd like to make an announcement
I'm not as tough as I look

I know I've tested your patience
Been pushing you away
I'm hoping you'll still be there
So I can say

Honey, I don't have much time
My parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
Stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
Everybody needs a hero

I'll say I think I need you
You'll say I know you do
Shut up!
Oh, it only hurts like this
When you know it's true
My whole life, been trying to fight it
What's the point though?
Everybody needs a hero
Everybody needs a hero
