Charlie Puth released a new song, Hero on May 24th from his upcoming album. The song is written and produced by Charlie himself.
Let’s have a look at Charlie Puth’s Hero lyrics and the meaning behind the words.
Hero Charlie Puth Lyrics
I wanna stop by and play it cool
It’s hard to talk with all these people in your room
I try to lock eyes and give you clues
So you can come and follow me out by the pool (Yeah, yeah)
My blood pressure elevates
When I call you out for bein’ fake
And I don’t want to be mean
But I’m not gonna shut up instead
I know who you really are
And your so-called “friends,” quotation marks
I don’t wanna make a scene
She cut me off and that’s when she said
“I don’t need a hero, I don’t want to be saved”
But I said, “I’ll be here every night and day”
Oh, I don’t need a hero, but if you let me stay
Oh, I can still be here every night and day
You hide your feelings (Hide your feelings), you medicate (You medicate)
You’re doin’ shit that’s keepin’ both of us awake
Make me the villain (Make me the villain), I know it helps
But I’m not gonna run like everybody else (No, no)
My blood pressure elevates
When I call you out for bein’ fake
And I don’t want to be mean
But I’m not gonna shut up instead
I know who you really are (Really are)
And your so-called “friends,” quotation marks
I don’t wanna make a scene
She cut me off and that’s when she said
“I don’t need a hero, I don’t want to be saved” (Don’t want to be saved)
But I said, “I’ll be here every night and day”
Oh, I don’t need a hero, but if you let me stay (If you let me stay)
Oh, I can still be here every night and day
Oh (I don’t need a hero)
Oh (Oh, I said, “I’ll be here,” oh)
Lovin’ you ain’t easy, but I’m never gonna stop it
I know that night I lost my head and I was bein’ out of pocket
I wasn’t tryna start a fight or tell you how to live your life
I just wanted (I just wanted)
You to know I fuckin’ cared, and she said
“I don’t need a hero, I don’t want to be saved” (I don’t want to be saved)
But I said, “I’ll be here every night and day” (Oh)
Oh, I don’t need a hero, but if you let me stay (If you let me stay)
Oh, I can still be here every night and day
Oh (I don’t need a hero, I don’t want to be saved)
Oh (But I said, “I’ll be here”)
Every night and day, oh
I don’t need a hero, but if you let me stay
Oh, I can still be here every night and day, oh
Charlie Puth Hero Lyrics Meaning
“Hero” is about a tough situation. The song talks about when you love someone but they’re making bad decisions and ruining good things in their life. You want to help them but you can’t. Puth says it was hard to write this song because it’s something he actually experienced.
He hopes that people who’ve been through something similar will hear the song and feel like they’re not alone. “Hero” is different from Puth’s usual music and it gives us a hint about the style of his upcoming album.
