Heroes

I've watched you suffer for so long  
Struggle with what life has thrown your way    
You don't know how much I care for you    
Things I haven't got the courage to say      
     
I want to be your hero    
I want to carry you through this world on my own    
But when I stop and take a look at myself    
I count every flaw that I've been shown      
     
I look at your face with those steel blue eyes    
Looking for that strength and realize      
     
You don't need me to be your hero    
You just need someone to show they care    
You've got the tough stuff handled    
You just need someone who will always be there    
You need a shoulder to cry on    
You need someone's hand to hold    
You need someone to wrap you in his arms    
And warm you when you get cold      
     
And I need you to know that I'm the one    
I need you to know that I care    
And want to be the one whose shoulder you can cry on    
I'm the one that your problems you can share    
I love you with all my heart    
And have since the day we met    
I want to share my life and soul    
I want to be the one you can't forget      
     
In my life I've made mistakes    
But my biggest mistake was something I didn't do    
I didn't tell you how much that I care    
How I've so been in love with you      
     
There's something you need to know    
You are my hero    
You
