Everybody Needs a Hero

Probably a new artist to most of you, and definitely a new song. Orla Gartland is an Irish singer, songwriter and musician with a very unique style that's hard to describe or pin down. She got her start on YouTube at the ripe old age of 13, and has really come into her own and found her style. There's something I just love about a clean melodic voice with heavy electric guitar behind.

This song was released in October of last year as part of an album of the same name.

"Everybody Needs a Hero" by Orla Gartland



Lyrics: ▼

Don't be disheartened about it
you know I'll get there in time
no woman can be an island
but I can sure as hell try

I know I've made you insecure
that I need you, you need me more
and that's the story I'm sticking to
I know I've tested your patience
me and my brave face
I'm hoping you'll still be there
so I can say

Honey, I don't have much time
my parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
everybody needs a hero

You know I hate to admit it
it makes me wanna throw up
I'd like to make an announcement
I'm not as tough as I look

I know I've tested your patience
been pushing you away
I'm hoping you'll still be there
so I can say

Honey, I don't have much time
my parachute has come untied
I need you to hold me
stroke my hair and tell me it'll be alright
I don't wanna hide behind my ego
everybody needs a hero

I'll say, I think I need you
you'll say, I know you do
shut up!
it only hurts like this when you know it's true

My whole life been trying to fight it
what's the point though?
everybody needs a hero
everybody needs a hero
