When I'm feeling down and it's hard for me to see
I just think of when you slept over, watching over me
and it makes me feel better, but really not that much
I reach out my hand, frightened to throw your hand a clutch
You taught me how to play this thing, then you left me here
I'm running from my sadness and I'm running from my fear

Something deep inside of me will always miss you
but you're gone and there is nothing I can do
(undecipherable) but like it ever was
My guitar needs tuning and the TV is in a fuss
I lay awake and cry at night, waiting for the sound
of your footsteps coming up the stairs as I watch a show downtown
You taught me how to play this thing, then you left me here
I'm running from my sadness and I'm running from my fear

A broken string, a broken heart is all I have to hold
but just like you have always been, I'll try to be as bold
I lost a real good friend today, but you had to leave
(undecipherable)
and now I hope, and every night I pray
that you are kept safe and brought back to me someday
I miss you and I love you, this you already know
What I didn't tell you is that you're my hero
