If only I could be as strong as you
If only I were born a hero like you were
Maybe then I could’ve grown into someone right
But my wings tore apart and melted away
Tell me, could you still laugh at someone like me?

I’ll carry all the sorrow of the people
I wounded blindly on my way
But can you truly say
That every piece of blame is mine to bear alone?

No one ever tried to look at me
(No one ever cared to know me at all)
Maybe a part of that responsibility
Lies with you as well
Call me reckless yeah, I won’t deny it
My heart’s become nothing but a frozen scale

I learned to bite my tongue to keep from speaking,
I learned to stay unseen so I’d stop breaking things
You were the one who shone so brightly
That even my shadow felt ashamed
Still, I wished I could’ve stood beside you someday
Not as a burden just
something close to equal.

Right and wrong…
I’ve had enough of being lectured on that
I already know who’s in the wrong
(It’s probably me in the end)
But knowing doesn’t change the ache
Or the way the past still claws its way up my throat

Let me tell you a story of someone I admired
Someone I watched from far below
I wished we could’ve stood as equals someday
But this is how it should be
For in every tale, a hero must face a greater evil
And if that’s the role the world has written for me
Then I’ll play it through to the end
Even if it means being the villain you must slay
