Just an ordinary man    Thrown into a life I didn't plan    Suddenly my world has changed    I'm unprepared to make my way    My resolve is growing weak    So unsure of who I'm supposed to be    The one who takes the noble path    Or the one who wants what he can never have       And I'm hardly the hero    This is the only thing I know to do    To make it through    But I need you to believe    That beneath this bravado    I'd still give anything to have a chance    To get you back    And I'm hardly a hero for that       Exuberant and terrified    Every time I look into your eyes    But I can't entertain the thought    Cuz we both know I'm not the man you thought I was       And I'm hardly the hero    This is the only thing I know to do    To make it through    But I need you to believe    That beneath this bravado    I'd still give anything to have a chance    To get you back    And I'm hardly a hero for that       The ones I love will always be    The ones who pay the price    And so I set aside my dreams    To do the thing that's right    And keep it all inside       And I'm hardly the hero    This is the only thing I know to do    To make it through    But I need you to believe    That beneath this bravado    I'd still give anything to have a chance    To love again    And I'm hardly the hero for that    Yeah I'm hardly a hero
