Asked me to never leave ,
Said you just wanted love
Your past made it hardΒ Β to believe
My past had me giving up
I wanted you to see
That you where always enough
So I Reopened my scars
And started to bleed
My past mishaps
The hidden history
Ripping them open
For you, but the world's could see
Still not enough because
Your trauma ran deep
Filled with insecurities down to the core
Your beauty unique and I needed more
The cost to succeed
Is fabled in lore
Wanted to be your Hercules
Struggles I endured
As new scars where taking form
I started feeling weak
Realizing in that moment
To save you would mean loosing me
I start to think
maybe I should walk away
Then your words clearly rang
You asked me to never leave
So your hero I will stay
It took every drop I had
When I had nothing left
you rose like a queen
Filled with my love
You started to leave
In your eyes you conquered the beast
No hero came Your enemy was me
