Hero
You look at him through hopeful eyes
Seeing a hero
The one who protects you
Saves you
From all that would hurt you
You look at him through shining eyes
Seeing your hero
The one who'll always be there
Always saves you, helps you, keeps you
Makes sure you don't hurt
But he's not
He's not your hero
He's not Superman, Batman, Spiderman
He won't always save you, protect you, help you
He won't always be there
You look at me through bloodshot eyes
And tell me, sobbing
That he is your hero
That he didn't mean it, didn't mean to, didn't want to
You look at him through blind eyes
You look at him and see what he's not
You see Spiderman, Batman, Superman
But you don't see behind
Behind the mask, the mask that hides his two-face
You see the Ace of Hearts
But I see he's really the Joker
You see a Hero, a savior, a God
I see the truth
I see behind the mask, I see behind the guise
I see the villain that you put the mask on
