Hero

The Verve Pipe · Super Hits [2007]

I can't believe that it was good for anyone

To be worth the wait

I tried to send you with your money's worth

But attention sure felt great

With all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, the most couldn't see



It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me

Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be

Keep it moving people cause there's nothing more for you to see

I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be yeah, oh yeah



Love me, love me sweet cowardice

Now that the thrill is mine for the moment

We really didn't need another suicide

Or a song explaining why, but not dignified

But I can't seem to kiss it goodbye



It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me

Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be

Keep it moving people cause there's nothing more for you to see

I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be yeah, oh yeah



Erase this disaster even faster than you came to see

A creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be

For your abuse, but not intended for internal use

I'm just a jerk , but a hero's what I wanna be



Burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me

Creep from the cradle but a hero's what I wanna be
