My Hero

Paramore · Other Songs - Paramore

Too alarming now to talk it out

Take your pictures down and shake it out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around



There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary



Don't the best of them bleed it out

While the rest of them peter out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around



There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary



Kudos my hero leaving all the best

You know my hero, the one that's on



There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary



There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary
