Zero to Hero

From zero to hero?
It don't work like that, honey.
You're whispering your cheap little phrases,
Think you're spending my soul's advance money.
You just wanna rub your ego all on me,
Play your games, get your fix, then you're gone...
But I've been here before, baby, can't you see?
This is not a new song.

So let's just stay here in the shallow end,
Where the water's clear and we can both pretend.

'Cause I'm not ready for the deep again!
I'm done processing the damage and the pain!
Let's just splash around here on the surface,
Find a thrill that feels new but is worthless.
Staying true to myself is the only way,
I'm done living my life in shades of grey!

And this empty, lonely house I'm in,
It doesn't feel so heavy on my skin.
I've learned to live without the highs and lows,
And in the quiet, something in me grows.
I won't allow myself to feel it all,
'Cause I remember taking that same fall.

So let's just stay here in the shallow end,
Where the water's clear and we can both pretend.

'Cause I'm not ready for the deep again!
I'm done processing the damage and the pain!
Let's just splash around here on the surface,
Find a thrill that feels new but is worthless.
Staying true to myself is the only way,
I'm done living my life in shades of grey!

And only you decide what’s right for you.
Don't listen to a single word they say.
They don't know half the hell that you've been through...
So live, and love, and feel it all today.

Live.
Love.
Feel it all.
Today.
