Don't hold me up to be
Something that I'm not
I never said I had all the answers
Or that I didn't make mistakes
You need someone to believe in
But I'm the same as you
And I can't make the promise
That I'll never let you down
Why should I sacrifice myself
So you can think that we feel the same
My life, my actions
Are scarred with imperfections
I never asked to be a hero
Don't make me play that role
You want someone to look up to
I'm afraid it isn't me
I won't be the one to save your soul
Why should I sacrifice myself
So you can think that we feel the same
What happens when I let you down
What makes my words so important
That they stand above the rest
All you've done is isolate me
And make me feel out of place
Is it the real me, that you want to know
Or who you think I should be
These walls that stand between us
Are walls that don't belong
All you've done is separate us
Is that really what you want
Something that I'm not
I never said I had all the answers
Or that I didn't make mistakes
You need someone to believe in
But I'm the same as you
And I can't make the promise
That I'll never let you down
Why should I sacrifice myself
So you can think that we feel the same
My life, my actions
Are scarred with imperfections
I never asked to be a hero
Don't make me play that role
You want someone to look up to
I'm afraid it isn't me
I won't be the one to save your soul
Why should I sacrifice myself
So you can think that we feel the same
What happens when I let you down
What makes my words so important
That they stand above the rest
All you've done is isolate me
And make me feel out of place
Is it the real me, that you want to know
Or who you think I should be
These walls that stand between us
Are walls that don't belong
All you've done is separate us
