Some Heroes Get Hurt Too

You wear a smile like battle paint Keep your pain behind the chainmail plates But I've seen cracks beneath the steel I know exactly how it feels You lift the weight for everyone But no one asks what you've become You're the last to leave, the first to bleed But who will come when you have need? You're not made of stone, I know the truth Even heroes get hurt too You hide your scars behind the fight But they still burn in dead of night The world won't see the war in you But I do, I always knew You're breaking slow, but standing tall You fight through silence, through it all Some battles no one ever knew Some heroes get hurt too They call you brave, they call you strong But courage hurts when it lasts this long Your armor's cracked, your hands still shake But you keep going for our sake You laugh it off, you take the lead But inside you're the one who bleeds You hold the line with trembling hands Still fighting what they'll never understand You're not made of stone, I know the truth Even heroes get hurt too You hide your scars behind the fight But they still burn in dead of night The world won't see the war in you But I do, I always knew You're breaking slow, but standing tall You fight through silence, through it all Some battles no one ever knew Some heroes get hurt too You hide your scars behind the fight But they still burn in dead of night The world won't see the war in you But I do, I always knew You're breaking slow, but standing tall You fight through silence, through it all Some battles no one ever knew Some heroes get hurt too
