Don't Call Me Your Hero

Don’t call me your hero,
Your knight in shining armor.
Everyone knows the hero
Is supposed to get the girl.
I did everything I could
All the power I had to charm you.
I may have won the battle
But I never won your heart.

I heard your cries for rescue,
A damsel in distress.
I risked myself in battle
Your sorrows to redress.
I chased away your dragons
To bring you happiness.
I gladly fought because you needed me.

Don’t call me your hero,
Your knight in shining armor.
Everyone knows the hero
Is supposed to get the girl.
I did everything I could
All the power I had to charm you.
I may have won the battle
But I never won your heart.

I rescued you from danger.
Your wish was my command.
I bore you home to safety
By the strength of my right hand.
I delivered you to the comfort
Of the arms of another man.
It seems that “need” and “want” mean different things.

Don’t call me your hero,
Your knight in shining armor.
Everyone knows the hero
Is supposed to get the girl.
I did everything I could
All the power I had to charm you.
I may have won the battle
But I never won your heart.

I don’t begrudge the battles,
The dangers that I faced.
You made your choice; I understand.
I’ll accept it with good grace.
But he must be your hero
Or your love it is misplaced.
And if he fails, you know where I will be.

Don’t call me your hero,
Your knight in shining armor.
Everyone knows the hero
Is supposed to get the girl.
I did everything I could
All the power I had to charm you.
I may have won the battle
But I never won your heart.
