I tried to be perfect, but nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me
I meant all the things that I said
Cool air tossed my raven locks as I stared out over the war-torn grounds of Hogwarts. The war is finally over. We won the war. I knew all along the Wizarding World only saw me as a hero, a scapegoat to be held up or torn down at a moment's notice. I knew that once the war was over, they'd have no other use for me.No one cares about the broken hero. No child plays with a broken toy.
'No one can do wandless magic' 'it's impossible to survive the Killing Curse' 'Voldemort can't be killed'. For all of them, I'm the exception. I tried to be their hero, but all I ever was to them was a failure. I tried to be perfect,really I did but not even my best was good enough for them.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
Sure I fulfilled my destiny, but what of me?
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me,
But it's the only thing that I have
A hero is great.He is always calm always daring.He is like this James Bond guy that Dudely watches on T.V.A hero never worries he save the world.A hero is perfect...So perfect.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
I might have decided to live, but I never said I'd ever be seen again. They don't have to know. Maybe it would be better if I just left – escape the attention, the ridicule, the 'why couldn't you have done something sooner's', the 'it's all your fault's. I could just leave, and never turn back. No matter what idiotic situation this world gets itself into next. Let them hang themselves. I'll have no part of it.
No one sees me for me anymore, not now that they're all dead or dying. No, I'm better off this way. By myself.
I tried to be perfect it just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
I'm done playing the hero. I knew all along it would be this hard, but I followed this path anyway. I thought I would be doing the world good, saving the side of light and justice. There is no good and evil.There is no hero.But I knew that from the beginning. I tried. I really did.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
Someday they might realize what they've done, but I doubt it. Why do you think the champion's never seen again after they've succeeded in their task?Why I ask you.
Someday they might realize, sure.
But by that time I'll be long gone.
And I'm never coming back.
That I'm better off on my own.
Maybe someday they'll find a new Hero a perfect hero.
