Among the Heroes

Because it's easier to write it
that's what I'll do
Words have been thrown at you your whole life
and maybe you deserve them too

When I look back I don't see pain,
sadness or misery
Despite the words you deserve
it was never only sorrow for me

And someone should let you know
in between the brutal mistakes
there was always laughter, always faith
in between the fatal wrongs
I always saw you among the heroes

We forgot about the wounds,
forgot about the fear, forgot about the pain
now I feel it as we rip them open again
and we hurt the same

The way you lived your life
took decades to realize
years spent forming a hurricane
a hurricane

And someone should let you know
in between the brutal mistakes
there was always laughter, always faith
in between the fatal wrongs
I always saw you among the heroes
