I walk alone with no wings to carry me home
You don’t even know, you don’t even know
And I hate the fall cause it takes you with it,
Shoot me down again
You’re colder then the snow, I'm used to being on my own
You don’t own me just because you made me cry a thousand times
This is me clearing my own dark skies
You are not your mistakes, you are not your past
You are not the kids in high school who said you’d never last
You are not your parents, you are not your goodbyes
So before you give up this fight I hope you realize
You can be your own hero
She’s got her head down on her desk, she doesn’t see it yet
But one day she’ll be grown, this is just a stepping stone
He’s locked in his bedroom thinking pain is all there is
It’s all he’s ever known, they beat him down so low
They don’t own you just because they made you cry a thousand times
Trust me when I say you're gonna be fine
You are not your mistakes, you are not your past
You are not the kids in high school who said you’d never last
You are not your parents, you are not your goodbyes
So before you give up this fight I hope you realize
You can be your own hero
Strong pain builds strong hearts
This is where your life starts
We are clean slates and zeroes
Becoming our own heroes
Strong pain builds strong hearts
This is where your life starts
We are clean slates and zeroes
Becoming our own heroes
We are not our mistakes, we are not our past
We are not the kids in high school we used to be, we used to be
We are fierce and mighty, we are saying goodbye
To the people who thought we’d never realize
We can be our own heroes
I walk alone while my own strength carries me home
You don’t even know, I am my own hero
