my hero

I built a wall and I made it tallI was sharp as glass, waiting for the fallI pushed you back with words like knivesThe kind of hurt that normally dividesI was mean to the heart that loved me mostChasing every shadow, every ghostBut Matthew, you didn’t flinch or leave the roomYou just waited for the flowers to bloom.(Chorus)You were the pulse when my heart went stillThe steady hand on the steepest hillWhen the world went black and the fire burnt throughThe only thing left in the room was youYou didn’t try to fix the breakYou just stayed awake for my sakeMy shield in the storm, my steady blueI found my way back because of you.(Verse 2)Matthew Harris, you showed up with more than a hand to holdYou brought the warmth when I was bitter coldBringing me things just to see me smileWalking with me through every jagged mileYou championed my dreams when I let them dieCaught every tear before it left my eyeEven when I didn't deserve your graceYou protected me and held your place.(Bridge)I tried to drive you far awayBut you just whispered, "I’m here to stay"You guarded my heart from the world and myselfPutting your own needs back on the shelfUntil I was ready to finally seeThe hero you’ve always been to me.(Chorus)You were the pulse when my heart went stillThe steady hand on the steepest hillWhen the world went black and the fire burnt throughThe only thing left in the room was youYou didn’t try to fix the breakYou just stayed awake for my sakeMy shield in the storm, my steady blueI found my way back because of you.(Outro)I’m sorry for the thorns, thank you for the roseFor being the one who truly knows...Matthew, I’m safe nowBecause you stayed through it all.
