The Hero

I see you
Give into
This empty
Shell you call a life
Underneath
I still feel
Your eyes on me
But getting farther and farther apart

But now I get it
You're the hero
I'm just the passenger
I can feel it in your lungs
I can smell it in your tears

You're the one they want
While I'm barely hanging on
I can feel it in your lungs
I can smell it in your tears

Don't tell me
You need me
I've had enough
Of your mind games
If you stare into the abyss long enough
It stares right back and then I hear it loud and clear

You're the hero
I'm just the passenger
I can feel it in your lungs
I can smell it in your tears

You're the one they want
While I'm barely hanging on
I can feel it in your lungs
I can smell it in your tears
