He's someone's hero for the night, but just for that day. Not permanently.
"They all won't love me, she won't let me forget."
This guy is used to being praised and put on a pedestal because of his music and his stance in the music world, but she has to remind him that not everyone will always love him and he cannot please everyone.
"Don't make me choose, I'll choose you and this will all be over."
He's asking her to not make him choose between her and the music. If he has to make a choice he will choose her and his music career and his dreams will be over.
I think overall this song is just about this guy and how he has to separate his personal life with his career. He wants the best of both worlds and wants to please her at the same time but doesnt want his dreams to fade away.
Some thoughts:
"And we're just heroes. For the day."
