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