No Hero

You might think I'm made of stone
And I don't cut right to the bone
I'm saying this to you my friend, my love will shine through in the end, believe me
Right to the end

You might think it's all a game
I'm not a face without a name
I'm singing this, I am sincere, I can't go on I need you near, believe me
I need you near

I stand alone, the stage is bare, I'm big enough to say I care
I need you, I'm going on a prayer, I feel you
I know you're there

I'm no hero, I'm just a man
I'm no hero, please understand
Although in someone else's eyes all these things may sound like lies
Can't watch you slip like water through my hands

(Hero)

(I'm no hero) I'm just a man
I'm no hero, please understand
Although the world's a stage I fear there'll be no masses when you are near
Can't watch you slip like water through my hands

You may think it's high up here, oh
To me what you believe's unclear
I trade the golden lights up here for your love and company, believe me
You're company

Take him round and left in doubt, many ways in and no way out
I'm devil, no hero, forgive him
Until he believes

I'm no hero, I'm just a man
I'm no hero, please understand
