Hero
I should never have
Seen the paper in your desk,
The words that you wrote
They were truly grotesque,
It was a diary full of secrets
You didn't want to share,
More weight on my shoulders
I had to bear
But I handled it better
Than our parents ever could,
They just tutted and preyed
But I never would,
I had to be brave
I couldn't fall apart,
So I smiled and laughed
Hiding my broken heart
Eventually you stopped
Making yourself sick
But things aren't the same
Deep down I've changed
I know you aren't to blame
But you were my hero
Strong and brave
That's all changed
You used to be here for me
But not anymore
