some may just call you a hero
but a cape you do not keep
for you say you have no need
to keep a fabric you'll never use
i have long looked for what you are
some may just call you a muse
but an ego you do not keep
for you say you have no need
to stroke what you'll never use
i have long looked for what you are
some may just call you a friend
but a promise you do not keep
for you say you have no need
to keep what you'll never say
i have long looked for what you are
some may just call you a demon
but a fire you do not keep
for you say you have no need
to keep what you'll never feel
i have long looked for what you are
some may just call you colorful
but an image you do not keep
for you say you have no need
to keep what you'll never see
i have long looked for what you are
and i say that you are the best
even if you are none of these
for i can't say what you mean to me
to keep what they'll never know
