A manwho stays.

Verse 1 I’ve met the ones who talk like thunder Walk into a room like they own the night They wear their courage like a jacket Then disappear when something isn’t right I’ve heard the promises at midnight Seen forever vanish with the morning rain I’m tired of hearts that love the feeling But run the moment love begins to change Pre-Chorus I’m not waiting for perfection I don’t need some storybook disguise I just want a man who means it When he looks me in the eyes Chorus I’m looking for a man I’m looking for a hero Not somebody riding in to save my life Someone who will take my hand When the road is down to zero And stand beside me when there’s nowhere left to hide I need a heart that won’t surrender Arms that hold but never make a cage I don’t need a man who fights my battles I need a man who stays Verse 2 I can carry my own sorrow I have learned to stand when no one came around I don’t need somebody stronger Just to lift me every time I hit the ground But I want someone beside me Who can tell the truth when truth is hard to hear Who can show me all his weakness And never think that makes him less sincere Pre-Chorus Let the movies keep their heroes Let them ride into the setting sun Give me someone there tomorrow When the fireworks are done Chorus I’m looking for a man I’m looking for a hero Not somebody riding in to save my life Someone who will take my hand When the road is down to zero And stand beside me when there’s nowhere left to hide I need a heart that won’t surrender Arms that hold but never make a cage I don’t need a man who fights my battles I need a man who stays Bridge Can you stay when I am angry? Can you listen when I’m scared? Can you love the parts I’m hiding Without pretending they’re not there? Can you laugh with me on Sundays Can you hold me through the rain? Can you build a life from ordinary days And still want me when we change? Band Builds Because that’s the kind of courage No shining armour ever proves It’s easy being fearless When there’s nothing left to lose But give me someone brave enough To give his heart away And strong enough to keep on choosing love Again and again each day Final Chorus I’m looking for a man I’m looking for a hero But now I know exactly what that means Someone who will take my hand And walk beside me slowly Through all the years between the daylight and the dreams I want a heart that won’t surrender Arms that hold but never make a cage I don’t need a man who fights my battles I need a man who stays Let the whole world chase its heroes Let them fade across the silver screen Give me the man who’s there beside me When nobody else can see I don’t need saving I just need faith I’m looking for a hero And a hero is a man who stays Outro A man who stays When everything changes A man who stays When loving isn’t easy That’s the man I’m waiting for
