The Verve Pipe - Hero Lyrics

i can't believe that it was good for anyone, to me worth the wait
i doubt that anybody got their money's worth
but the attention sure felt great
with all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, some couldn't see

it burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
creep from the cradle, but a hero's what i wanna be
keep it moving people cause there's nothing more for you to see
i'm just a jerk, but a hero's what i wanna be yeah, oh yeah

love me, love me sweet cowardice
now that the thrill is mine for the moment
we really didn't need another suicide
or a song explaining why, but it's not dignified
but i can't seem to kiss it goodbye

it burned like a cancer...
keep it moving people...
it burned ...
keep it.....
erase this disaster even faster than you came to see
a creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be
for your abuse, but not intended for internal use
i'm just a jerk , but a hero's what i wanna be
