i don't need a hero
i just need hope
that everything
hasn't been for nothing
that someday
i'll find someone
or someone will find me
and i won't have to worry
about all the hands that have hurt me
i won't have to worry
that another hand ever will
i won't have to worry for my life
about the person i lie next to
threatening to end mine
because they drank too much one night
and i wasn't back on time
i don't need a hero
i just want to be treated right
it doesn't seem too much to ask
but it feels too hard to find
