The Hero Dies in This One Lyrics

as i leave here today
apartment 1 0 A
ill always keep you in my heart
anderson is cold tonite
the leaves are scattered on the ground
i miss the seasons
and the comfort of your smile

sometimes this all feels like a dream
im waiting for someone just to wake me up
from this life

as i look out at these fairgrounds
i remember how our families split apart
i dont think i ever told you
but i know you always stayed your best
and the hard times they only made us stronger

as i sit here all alone
i wonder how im supposed to carry on
when youre gone.

ill never be the same without you.
i love you more than you will ever know.
so maybe now you finally know
sometimes were helpless and alone
but you cant let it keep you weighted down
you must go on.

do you ever feel like crying
do you ever feel like giving up?

i raise my hands up towards the sky
and say this prayer for you tonite
because nothing is impossible.

as i sit here all alone
i wonder how im supposed to carry on
when youre gone.

ill never be the same without you.
i loved you more than you will ever know.
so maybe now you finally know
sometimes were helpless and alone
but you cant let it keep you weighted down
you must go on.

the hardest part isnt finding what we need to be
its being content with who you are.

stay who you are.

you must go on.

stay who you are.
