Hardly A Hero

from One Of The Ones by Levi Kreis

/

about

To Spiderman. No seriously, Darci and I were watching Spiderman and wanted to write a song that could articulate the complication of being in love in the wake of his evolving identity as a super hero.

lyrics

Written by Levi Kreis & Darci Monet

Just an ordinary man
Thrown into a life I didn't plan
Suddenly my world has changed
I'm unprepared to make my way
My resolve is growing weak
So unsure of who I'm supposed to be
The one who takes the noble path
Or the one who wants what he can never have

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To get you back
And I'm hardly a hero for that

Exuberant and terrified
Every time I look into your eyes
But I can't entertain the thought
Cuz we both know I'm not the man you thought I was

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To get you back
And I'm hardly a hero for that

The ones I love will always be
The ones who pay the price
And so I sit outside my dreams
To do the thing that's right
And keep it all inside

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To love again
And I'm hardly the hero for that
Yeah I'm hardly a hero

about

Levi Kreis Nashville, Tennessee

I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
