A Hero

I put my trust in you to carry me home
To let me belong and to feel content.
But how is that possible when you're not yourself?
When you still wish you were dead?

We never gave up hope but hope gave up on you
There was no flicker, there was no flame.
After all the sleepless nights and hidden cures
You still feel the same.

You were my eternal sun in all the lights
Each word, each lullaby, each song.
It seemed every breath could bring me to life
Every breath that tastes so wrong.

I thought we'd get through;you were always right
Always so strong, beautiful and mine.
Now without you, nothing is golden
I'm trapped in eternal night.

If you cannot cope, how will I live?
Knowing the very person who keeps me alive.
Has given up, let go, pleaded unstable
And admitted the craving to die.

I gave up everything so you would strive
Please don't tell me you're down once again.
In our insecure lives, who are we to say
We'll ever come out of the train?

I depended on you to help me smile, laugh and live
But after all, only the darkness has been woken.
I needed you but you're shattered, destroyed
When a hero falls, all is broken.
