No Heroes Here Lyrics

There are no heroes here tonight

You're just a damsel in a dress

No one can save you from yourself

And anyway I'm gonna take flight now, I guess

But did you really think I was somebody's alter-ego

You saw that I dress well and I sit up tight

And what happened was, you thought the best of me

But there are no heroes here tonight

I've no powers, I've no mission

And if I did it isn't trying to fix you

There are no saviours here tonight

I won't give my life just to ease you of your sins

Cause if I did we'd both be stigmatized

In a story like that, nobody wins

And they don't even make phone booths anymore

And anyway changing is my kryptonite

You can be happy but you can't become happy

There are no heroes here tonight

I've no powers, I've no mission

And if I did it isn't trying to fix you

Or we're all heroes, and we're all victims

And we're all villains too

Maybe once the world had all these demigods

And maybe they'd have done what you've been praying for

And maybe what was true once has just fallen into myth

But there are no heroes anymore

Now maybe I am wrong and I know it isn't right

But there are no heroes here tonight

No, there are no heroes here tonight
