Hero

This newfound image of today
Just a disguised villain of yesterday
Your loving hate takes me so far away
You turned my heart such a deeper, darker shade
Self-consciously I know you mean too much to me
And as this hunger grows there's famine and no seed
Shock of this, you know that it ain't new
My breath's been waiting baby, waiting on you

Won't you be my hero
Please come capture me
Under the weeping willow
Waiting I will be

So hero, tell me, tell me this
Are you the lips to my sweet phantom kiss?
Or are you the villain in all of my dreams?
The cause of all the thunder, the cause of all the screams
The lies you told me were somehow true
This green that I've been seeing has really been blue
Now all that I can do is hand myself to you
And pray you'll let me love you
Don't be ruthless, don't be cruel

Won't you be my hero
Please come capture me
Under the weeping willow
Waiting I will be
