i wish i was Hercules Lyrics

One day I hope to be

Something more than I am

I pretend in everything

I wonder why I can't

Be the one that they look up to

Be the hero in their eyes

Be the person that

Will change the world

And live the perfect life

But I haven't been the person

That I really want to be

I wish I was Hercules

Was a people pleaser

I'd give anything

To be seen as a hero

But I'll be stuck right here

And I'll only get weaker

Until I can leave

My pride in the mirror

People look perfect

I know that it's a problem

I need to stop comparing

Myself to what I wanted

Life is moving fast

And I'm running out of options

I thought I'd have a blast

But it's weighing on my conscience

When will I reach

What I really want to be

I wish I was Hercules

Was a people pleaser

I'd give anything

To be seen as a hero

But I'll be stuck right here

And I'll only get weaker

Until I can leave

My pride in the mirror

I question

Everything

I'm burning

Agony

When will I reach the hilltop safe

I've gone so far to save my face

Instead I

Should try

To live for

What's right

I know I've been called to greater things

So I need to give up all of me

I will reach it

When I finally quit

Trying to be the

Greatest champion

Find hope in the place I've chosen to stay

I'm scared of the pain but it never goes away

So I'll try and I'll live and I'll never give in

I'm weak and broken going thin

I know this life isn't the end

I understand that I can't be

Hercules

But I'm only human

I make mistakes

I cannot be perfect

What I want to be

Is so amusing

To the One who knows

That I'll just keep losing

I'll never be Hercules

Because I'm only a human

I make mistakes

And I cannot be perfect

What I want to be

It's so amusing

To the One who knows

That I'll just keep losing
