[Verse 1]
Every now and then, I see them
The footsteps I'm supposed to walk
But the shadow falls dense around me
I'm just a candle to a roaring bonfire

[Verse 2]
Father, your ultimate sacrifice
Gave me safe passage back to the world
Now I'm stranded in this fool's paradise
(And) There's no cure for a shattered soul

[Pre-Chorus]
People, I beg you
I am on my knees
I can't stand this
It's killing me

[Chorus]
Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
Nothing of you in return

[Verse 3]
Mother, you laid all the hate on me
You both had a taste for saving the world
A mammoth undertaking
Was placed upon me
[Pre-Chorus]
People, understand
I don't want the throne

[Chorus]
Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
Nothing of you...

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 1]
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
And those times I hurt myself

[Bridge 2]
You have to silence the fear
You have in your heart
Always do more than
What is required of you
Of you, of you

[Chorus]
Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
Nothing of you in return
[Outro]
People, I beg you...
People, I beg you....
