Save the Hero
Derek Minor, Canon
(Intro: Derek Minor) I need saving (I need saving) I need saving (I need saving) I need saving (I need saving) I need saving (I need saving) I need saving (I need saving) (Verse 1: Derek Minor) Please check on your strong friend They're probably holding it all in Telling you that it's okay, so no one's on the way Tryna save the world, but I can't even save myself Dealing with the pain I felt Been through the darkest of nights When will I rise? I need the light Been through it all, had a couple of setbacks When I'm tryna fly, need a couple of jetpacks Know that you can hit me up when things get ugly But, when the last time you called and told me you love me? I can't carry this all alone, I'm scared to be vulnerable So I hide all my flaws while I barely hold on (Chorus: Quinten Coblentz) I've been fighting, it just ain't right I've been trying for my whole life To keep you protected, still gettin' rejected I've been trying not to lose my life While I move through the darkest night With no one neglected But where's everybody now? Who's gonna save the hero? Who's gonna save the hero? (Save me) Tell me, who's gonna save me now? (Verse 2: Canon) I done pushed away my loved ones, second-guessin' Triggered by explicit thoughts while I'm in depression But you ain't gotta hold on to your scars I know you feel no one cares who you are I thought about while I'm still alive, would they give me roses? If I died, how many days would it take for you to even notice Still alive despite how I feel inside, I know my people love me They struggling with they own things, I gotta be my own king I'm fightin' off my traumas, can't sleep, feelin' locked up Like a knee was on my neck, like I can't breathe out my lungs When life hits you like a Mack truck You get knocked down to get backed up 'Cause pain ain't got a answer, I'm still strong when I stand up Having conversations with the old me, lies tryna control me Put me all in y'all prayers, I'ma be here for all of my homies We ain't gettin' no trophies from the young gunners to the OGs My people know that I love 'em and— (Chorus: Quinten Coblentz) I've been fighting, it just ain't right I've been trying for my whole life To keep you protected, still gettin' rejected I've been trying not to lose my life While I move through the darkest night With no one neglected But where's everybody now? Who's gonna save the hero? Who's gonna save the hero? (Save me) Tell me, who's gonna save me now? (Outro: Quinten Coblentz) Who's gonna save the hero? Who's gonna save the hero? Tell me, who's gonna save me now?
