Save The Hero
Beyonce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lay alone awake at night
Sorrow fills my eyes
But I'm not strong enough to cry
Despite of my disguise

I'm left with no shoulder
But everybody wants to lean on me
I guess I'm their soldier
But who's gonna be mine?

Who's there to save the hero, oh
When she's left all alone
And she's crying out for help?
Who's there to save the hero? Oh
Who's there to save the girl
After she saves the world?
After she saves the world

I bottle all my hurt inside
I guess I'm living a lie
Inside my mind each day I die
What can bring me back to life?

A simple word, a gesture
Someone to say you're beautiful
Come find this buried treasure
Rainbows lead to a pot of gold

Who's there to save the hero, oh
When she's left all alone
And she's crying out for help?
Who's there to save the hero? Oh
Who's there to save the girl
After she saves the world? (After she saves the world)
After she saves the world (after she saves the world)
(After she saves the world)

I've given too much of myself and now it's driving me crazy
I'm crying out for help
Sometimes I wish someone would just come here and save me
Save me from myself

Who's there to save the hero, oh
When she's left all alone
And she's crying out for help?
Who's there to save the hero? Oh
Who's there to save the girl
After she saves the world? (After she saves the world)
After she saves the world (after she saves the world)
(After she saves the world)





(After she saves the world)
After she saves the world

Who's there to save the hero
When she's left all alone
And she's crying out for help?
Who's there to save the hero?

After she saves the world
After she saves the world?
