the hero dies in this one

As I leave here today
Apartment 108
I’ll always keep you in my heart.

Anderson is cold tonight
The leaves are scattered on the ground
I miss the seasons and the comfort of your smile.

Sometimes this all feels like a dream
I’m waiting for someone just to wake me up from this life

As I look out at these fairgrounds
I remember when our family split apart

I don’t think I ever told you
But I know you always did your best
And the hard times… well, they only make us stronger.

As I sit here all alone
I wonder how I’m supposed to carry on
When you’re gone

I’ll never be the same without you
I love you more than you will ever know.
And maybe now you finally know
Sometimes we’re helpless and alone
But you can’t 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
I say this prayer for you tonight
Because nothing is impossible.
