Lonely Heart Hero

The girl in the mirror checks her face with a skeptical eye

Her moody reflection stares back with a lonely heart sigh

Asks the secret question she’s most afraid of

“Can they see how much I’m desperate for love?”

She’s sure she can’t hide it, no matter how hard she tries

Her sad love story starts the way sad love story’s usually do

An innocent soul with a heart pure, faithful and true

Swept off her feet by the spell of romance

Lost all control as if in a trance

In the end coldly abandoned, cruelly left broken and blue

Chorus

I could fix her lonely heart

Be the hero that sets it free

If I could find a way to start

To hope she could believe in me

I wait on my porch every day just to watch her walk by

She always looks like she’s trying so hard not to cry

Sometimes I wave, she acts like she can’t see

Even when she’s looking straight at me

I’ve been helpless to resist from the moment I first looked in her eyes

Yesterday my world turned glory bound

Without a word she walked up my stairs and sat down

Asked me my name, then she looked far away

We both sat there with nothing to say

When she got up to leave, she smiled and said

“Maybe I’ll see you around”

Chorus
