[Verse 1] I knew he was different in his sexuality I went to his parties as a straight minority It never seemed a threat to my masculinity He only introduced me to a wider reality [PerChorus] As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that he was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart [Chorus 1] But hes nobodys hero Saves a drowning child Cures a wasting disease Hero...lands the crippled airplane Solves great mysteries Hero...not the handsome actor Who plays a heros role Hero...not the glamour girl Whod love to sell her soul If anybodys buying Nobodys hero [Verse 2] I didnt know the girl, but I knew her family All their lives were shattered in a nightmare of brutality They try to carry on, try to bear the agony Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity [PreChorus] As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that she was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart [Chorus 2] But shes nobodys hero Is the voice of reason against the howling mob Hero...is the pride of purpose In the unrewarding job Hero...not the champion player Who plays the perfect game Hero...not the glamour boy Who loves to sell his name Everybodys buying Nobodys hero [Guitar Solo] [PreChorus] As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that you were gone I felt a shadow cross my heart [Chorus 1] But hes nobodys hero Saves a drowning child Cures a wasting disease Hero...lands the crippled airplane Solves great mysteries Hero...not the handsome actor Who plays a heros role Hero...not the glamour girl Whod love to sell her soul If anybodys buying Nobodys hero [Outro] Hero Nobodys hero Hero Nobodys hero
