Just because they seem to understand the way you feel It doesn't mean they'll feel the same way too Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life It doesn't follow that they'll be just like you Take no heroes, Its no good They don't stand up to you Just take the bit you think they can use I remember when I was younger I thought the answers were locked in people So I admired the ones whose lives were a source of envy to people like me But do you really want to meet The ones who write your dreams Believe me, it's a fantasy You won't like the reality If you want heroes keep them safe They don't stand up to life So lock them in your soul and lose the key (I love you, I don't want to meet you) When I see you it makes me feel There's someone else out there like me You touch my soul with what you do It all makes sense when I hear you You understand the way I feel I know exactly what you mean It's like I've known you all my life I think of you I feel alright But in the flesh how would it be If you could really see The weaknesses you never knew Alive and staring back at you If you want to heroes keep them safe They don't stand up to life So lock them in your soul and lose the key
