Who are you staring back at me in the mirror
Why do tears wash your face
The pain in your eyes couldn't be any clearer
What happened to your unbreakable faith

I lost my way a long time ago
It ain't easy walking in the dark all alone
I try to be brave I try to be strong
But deep down I really just don't know

How do you rise above pain
When it's all you've known
How do you know where to go
When you're lost in the rain
I could use a hero
To show me the way

I admit I let the negativity go to my head
I let it bring me down when I shouldn't of
Should've closed my ears to what was being said
But I'm only human I just want to be loved

I admit a lot of times I let my fears win
Curl in a ball and cry wishing it was me who died
I wonder why everyone leaves and I'm broken
I fight so hard to overcome the darkness inside

How do you rise above pain
When it's all you've known
How do you know where to go
When you're lost in the rain
I could use a hero
To show me the way

I feel ashamed that I'm not as strong as I should be
I'm afraid that I'll never be enough in anyone's eyes
Underneath my soul is a caged bird wishing to be free
She sings a song of pain that could make an angel cry

But how do you rise above all the pain
When it's all you've ever ever known
How do you know where to go
When you're lost in the heavy pouring rain
I could use a hero
To show me the way

I try I try I try
To be strong
To hold on
But I could use a hero
To show me the way
