Broken Heroics

[Spoken Introduction] Laying back in the bed, Hunter stared at the ceiling. Thinking back on the conversation, hardly believing her own words. [Verse 1] She's been doing this far too long, living deep in the gray. Making plans for a future, never bothering with today. She never should have survived. the foundation should have been her grave. [Chorus] He held it together for them both, she couldn't understand why. Rewarded for heroics by being broken, he should have saved himself. [Verse 2] Now here she was, in the land of the living. Too old for starting over, no other choice now given. Can she even go on from here? Recover is a word she can't believe in. [Chorus] He held it together for them both, she couldn't understand why. Rewarded for heroics by being broken, he should have saved himself. [Verse 3] He wheeled himself into her room, while she was just waiting to die. She couldn't even look at him, without starting to cry. But he didn't want her sympathy, he told her undeniably why. [Spoken Bridge] He counted himself a failure until she climbed out of that bed. [Outro] She had to pull it together for them both, finally now she understands why. heroics isn't being broken, he had saved himself. by refusing to leave her behind.
