I'm sorry I held on
Even though you made it clear
I should've been smarter
And I intend to be now.

I've got to guard my heart
I never must let this happen again
I trusted others to protect it
Yet, I couldn't trust myself.

I shall grow, and I shall be better
I'll be the hero I aspire to be
You'll be by my side, me by yours,
Friends until the dawn of the end.
