Hero to myself

I'll give you a little piece of my heart
You can stop it, you can burn it, give it all the hell you've got
But please promise me you won't hold on to it too long
Becuase this heart of mine is meant for moving on.

I've never been one to put my dukes up and fight
Cause I've never met a dog who's bark was worse than his bite
I'm trying to do right
I try with all my might
But nobody knows this but me

People often ask me why I do this to myself
I often dodge the question I say I do it for my health.
But the answer is much deeper than I'm willing to delve.
But nobody delves deeper than me

So take all of your judgments and save them for someone else
My psychology is no mystery and my worth is not your wealth
I just need a friend to help me and a friend that needs my help
A hero is all I really need
A hero is all I ever wanted to be.
