Everybody's Hero

I grew up with a desire to see the ones I love
Living in my built empire with a value beyond and above
Any worldly measure of wealth sentimental it would be
But what I lack to find are the roots to that family tree

My problem is I try to be everyone's hero
I want to save them all
The broken, the tarnished and ones who took a fall
Woke up with dust on their faces and thought themselves as small
Took it upon myself to prove that otherwise since I saw the potential
Caught myself in a situation that was detrimental
I found myself needing saving with no one to save me
Watering the roots while someone was cutting down the tree
I think the problem was me

I cared too much that I didn't even notice that you didn't care about me
You cared about what I could do for you to be happy
You were selfish and low that you still don't know today
That the plans I shared with you are plans I had from the first day
From the first bae
From the beginning.
