Before you go, just listen
And I'm sorry
For all the things I've done to you

You know that I'm sorry
For all the things I've put you through


You see I
You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes

Complacency was my disguise
Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day

When I turn around and say
Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is

I feel all alone

And all I ever wanted

Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend


Do you remember
The way it used to be

I know you remember
Maybe we could make it real


You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes
Complacency was my disguise

Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day
When I turn around and say

Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is
I feel all alone


And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend


And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted

Was to be your friend

Before you go, listen to the things I have to say

Before you judge, don't you let your pain judge me this way
Before you leave, give me just a second to explain
All the things I'm feeling inside


And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend


And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted

Was to be your friend
