"Even in the future the story began with Once Upon A Time." -Marissa Meyer


We’ve go this love

Time

Distance

Even death

Can't divide it


We are heroes in distress

Great ones

Cause we have great sorrow

Grief

Burden

And all of that makes a hero


We’re not invincible

But we are still heroes

Cause we fall

And cry

Get back up

But continue crying


I’m a hero

But I’m in distress

You’re a hero

In distress


We try to help people

Or at least I do


I’m a coward

At least an honest one

That’s what makes me a hero

A real hero is one that makes mistakes

But admits to them


I’m a hero 

One filled with problems


We all do heroic things 

But is how you do them that matter

It really does


You got to do them with pride

And courage

And mistakes

And losses

You have to be a hero that isn’t afraid to lose


I’m a hero

 in distress

You’re a hero

In distress


Being a hero doesn’t mean winning

It means fighting

Even when your fighting for your own life

It’s important to fight for others


When my mind's going crazy

And I can hardly live on my own

Do things on my own

I’m a hero in distress

And I’ll help you if you’ve fallen


I fall 

All of the time

What can I say

I’m clumsy

But I get up

Bloody and beaten

It's the thought that counts


I love you

And you love me

With our strength and courage

We can flip this wicked world 

Upside down


One distasteful step

At

A

Time


I don’t believe in being your own hero

But being a hero for others

I believe in that 


I’m a hero in distress

I’m hurting 

And fighting

Maybe that’s what’s causing the pain in the first place

Whatever


Superman

Spider-Man

Batman

There not real heroes


Vasili Arkhipov

Norman Borlaug

Henrietta Lacks

Real heroes

But we idealize the cartoons


I can’t fly

Never could

So instead

I climb each and every treacherous step

Towards the damsel in distress


I’m a hero in distress

At least I think I am

I like to think that I am


We are heroes

But we’re not ready for war

Or combat

Or anything


We are heroes in distress

We need saving

But save instead


We’re heroes in distress

And all heroes fall

They all do

Slowly


We’re heroes 

And we’ll fight the villains

Right up until the end

Of our miserable lives


Word are key

The deadliest weapon

No matter what others say

Words will always knock someone of their feet


You know the old saying?

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will never hurt me

But, words can hurt

Cause unlike sticks and stones

They break the soul


Hello?

Do you hear me?

I need a little help

Sometimes I do


I act all tough 

Like I don’t need help sometimes

It’s because 

I’m a hero

Not a damsel


I may say I need help

Don’t help me

I don’t want it

I don’t need it

Except sometimes I do

It’s complicated


We’re heroes in distress

Soaring in the air

And one day

One day

We’ll fall

Today’s not that day
