[Verse 1]
The tides did change the day you went away
I feel you close to me
Knowing me, you were my hero
Even now, I still say your name
In the quiet of the room
Like you never really left
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though your soul is gone
Your light keeps pulling me through
Deep inside, right through my bones
I carry every part of you
[Chorus]
You were my hero
You were my hero
No one can take that
No one can take that
Your spirit lives on
Your spirit lives on
Deep inside, right through my bones
No one can take that
[Verse 2]
I see your hands in the morning
In the way I stand back up
Every scar you helped me wear
Turns softer when I think of us
And the world can try to move me
But your love keeps me in place
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though your soul is gone
Your light keeps pulling me through
Deep inside, right through my bones
I carry every part of you
[Chorus]
You were my hero
You were my hero
No one can take that
No one can take that
Your spirit lives on
Your spirit lives on
Deep inside, right through my bones
No one can take that
[Bridge]
If I fall, I hear you near
In my heart, in my fear
I lift my head, I breathe you in
And start again
[Final Chorus]
You were my hero
You were my hero
No one can take that
No one can take that
Your spirit lives on
Your spirit lives on
Deep inside, right through my bones
No one can take that
