Just because they seem to understand the way you feel

It just doesn't mean that they'll feel the same way too

Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life

It just doesn't follow that they'll be just like you



Take no heroes, it's no good

They don't stand up to you

Just take the bits you think that you can use



I remember when I was younger

I thought the answers were locked in people

So I admired the ones whose lives were

A source of envy to people like me



But do you really want to meet

The ones who write your dreams

Believe me, it's a fantasy

You won't like the reality



If you want heroes keep them safe

They don't stand up to life so

Lock them in your soul and lose the key



I love you, I don't wanna meet you X12



When I see you it makes me feel

There's someone else out there like me

You touch my soul with what you do

It all makes sense when I hear you

You understand the way I feel

I know exactly what you mean

It's like I've known you all my life

I think of you I feel alright



But in the flesh how would it be

If you could really see

The weaknesses you never knew

Alive and staring back at you



If you want heroes keep them safe

They don't stand up to life so

Lock them in your soul and lose the key

Lock them in your soul and lose the key

Lock them in your soul and lose the key
