I think this song is almost like an open letter to their fans. I think they get a lot of queer fans that say they're their hero as they are an openly queer and out public figure. I think in this song they're basically saying that they dont think they are heros as they've just been honest about themselves and not tried hide who they truly are even though it hasn't been that easy. I think it also is about how a lot of fans will probably say that they are in love with them or love them because of their honesty, but ultimately when these fans put them on such a high pedal stool, they aren't actually in love with them its the idea of them and what they stand for. I feel this is reflected especially in the lines 'Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got, Gets so hard to know I'm not what they want' Ultimately, they dont consider themselves any braver than than their queer fans, 'I'm not your hero ,But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same'
