Hero
When I was drowning, you saved me
You pulled me from the waters cold grasp
And lifted my head above the waves of my own depression
And for that you were my hero.
When I was falling, you were there to catch me
Standing right by my side where you always were
You hauled me up out of the grave I had dug for myself
And for that you were my friend.
When I was broken you fixed me
You picked up all my scattered pieces up off the frozen ground
And you put me back together
And for that you became a part of me.
Fast forward to know your not here anymore
And I have nobody to save me
From myself or from this pain
And I can already feel the world getting darker.
As the storm clouds move overhead
I feel myself begin to break
As the water starts to rize
And your not by my side.
And once again im drowning
But your not here to rescue me this time
And I know that the only thing that’ll save me now
Is if I learn to swim.
