i wish i was Hercules

One day I hope to be
Something more than I am
I pretend in everything
I wonder why I can't
Be the one that they look up to
Be the hero in their eyes
Be the person that
Will change the world
And live the perfect life
But I haven't been the person
That I really want to be

I wish I was Hercules
Was a people pleaser
I'd give anything
To be seen as a hero
But I'll be stuck right here
And I'll only get weaker
Until I can leave
My pride in the mirror

People look perfect
I know that it's a problem
I need to stop comparing
Myself to what I wanted
Life is moving fast
And I'm running out of options
I thought I'd have a blast
But it's weighing on my conscience
When will I reach
What I really want to be

I wish I was Hercules
Was a people pleaser
I'd give anything
To be seen as a hero
But I'll be stuck right here
And I'll only get weaker
Until I can leave
My pride in the mirror

I question
Everything
I'm burning
Agony
When will I reach the hilltop safe
I've gone so far to save my face
Instead I
Should try
To live for
What's right
I know I've been called to greater things
So I need to give up all of me
I will reach it
When I finally quit
Trying to be the
Greatest champion
Find hope in the place I've chosen to stay
I'm scared of the pain but it never goes away
So I'll try and I'll live and I'll never give in
I'm weak and broken going thin
I know this life isn't the end
I understand that I can't be

Hercules
But I'm only human
I make mistakes
I cannot be perfect
What I want to be
Is so amusing
To the One who knows
That I'll just keep losing
I'll never be Hercules
Because I'm only a human
I make mistakes
And I cannot be perfect
What I want to be
It's so amusing
To the One who knows
That I'll just keep losing
