A/N: Okay, this is the 3rd (and final) time this has gone up. ((For those interested, the 1st time it was reported as not my own by a stupid flamer. 2nd time, I took it down in disgust with FP.)) If you're reviewed this before, please review again. Thanx. This one's for 2 friends of mine, hope y'all still like it.

'Nobody's Hero'

Head down
Tears falling to the ground
Drops hitting the cold concrete - the only sound
As my mind, thinks of your pain
My heart falls to pieces
As I fall to the ground and ask "Why?"
To the skies and a deaf God

(Chorus:) No one depend on me to save you
Couldn't do it when She needed
And now I can't even save myself
From falling into a pool of blood and tears
And I'm drowning in my black fears
Don't depend on me to save you
I'm nobody's hero anymore

I've cried until I couldn't cry no more
When I couldn't cry, my repentance
Flowed from my arms
Washing me in its Crimson Catharsis . . .
But the pain just creeps back in
Again my heart is weighted down by guilt and shame
As I think of how I let you down when you were in pain

(Chorus:) No one depend on me to save you
Couldn't do it when She needed
And now I can't even save myself
From falling into a pool of blood and tears
And I'm drowning in my black fears
Don't depend on me to save you
I'm nobody's hero anymore

Oh whoa oh oh whoa
Oh whoa oh oh whoa
Heroes don't reside here no more
The pain keeps getting reopened like a sore
I've screamed and I've cussed at the skies 'til my throat's gone hoarse
Never felt this way before,
It just gets worse and worse I failed, you were hurt . . . couldn't save you like a hero . . . not a hero, not me, not anymore

(Chorus:) No one depend on me to save you
Couldn't do it when She needed
And now I can't even save myself
From falling into a pool of blood and tears
And I'm drowning in my black fears
Don't depend on me to save you
I'm nobody's hero anymore

Don't depend on me to save you anymore
Couldn't do it before, when She needed me
And now I can't even save myself
I'm falling in a pool of a night's worth of blood and tears
Drowning in all my black fears
Don't depend on me to save you
I'm nobody's hero anymore

Couldn't save her
Won't save me
Can't save you
Go look elsewhere for your saving
Find someone better to be your hero
Shine your signal in the sky for somebody else
I couldn't save her
I won't save me
And I can't save you
Can't save no one . . . anymore
