Waiting For a Hero
I spent so much time waiting for a hero, hoping for someone to save me
Someone to mend my heart, a kind soul to take me
A beautiful person to talk to me and keep me safe
I wasted so many years waiting for a hero, but this whole time he had a familiar face
Tears on the pillow of the bed I lay on
Flashbacks of memories I wish I could forget
Breaking down because I've held it in for so long
Smiling for the world because I don't want them to see I'm a mess
Empty Brandy Bottles, I shouldn’t have poured in a glass
Rereading old texts from a girl who I miss a lot
Listening to love songs, with the volume at full blast
Suicidal urges, But it's because I just want the pain to stop
Courage to fight through this, even if it's slowly
Taking each day at a time as I begin to work on myself
Try to let go of my self doubt as I hold my pen closely
I've had people abandon me, but the pen has always been the first to help
Battling depression for 12 years and I'm still fighting
Spent nights crying alone but I made it through
I still need to repair my wings before I can start flying
But I'm talking to the man in the mirror saying this is the stage for you
I Lost people I adored, But I still stand me
I recovered from the wound, Even though my loyalty and love ran deep
My heart was genuine and love was real, so I realised the problem was not me
I thought I lost them, but it turns out that they lost me
I used to crave a hug or goodnight kiss from my dad
I would hope that my mother would put the drink down
a family is something I never had
I lost many things, but the hero has been found
I spent so much time waiting for a hero to save me
Someone to mend my heart, someone to bring me to safety
a soul that would be caring and treat me kind
Little did I know, I've been my own hero this whole time
