The Hero Dies in This One

The Hero Dies in This One - The Ataris

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 in the comfort of your smile

Sometimes this song feels like a dream

I'm waiting for someone just to wake me up from this life

As I look out on these fairgrounds

I remember how our family split apart

I don't think I ever told you

But I know you always did your best

In the hard times that only made 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

So 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

And say this prayer for you tonight

Because nothing is impossible

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

So 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

The hardest part isn't finding what we need to be

It's being content with who we are

Stay who you are

You must go on
