Hero
I'm watching the video we made.
You're fumbling your lines.
How could you be such an idiot?
Why was this the only thing you left behind?

You saw it in a vision, some people needed our help.
They were being persecuted by a group called the Scourge.
One boy ran away from his family,
Unwilling to believe that they were heading for safety.
You went to find him.
I was waiting on the dock when someone told me
Why this was so personal to you.
You came back with the boy,
I slapped you.
Why did you lie to me?
We'd talked about keeping secrets.
How could you think that I would've cared?
You were a half-demon, so what?
That was the least of your problems with me.
You drank a lot, you had horrible taste in clothes.
Did you think that I was so shallow
That I could never accept you?
Because despite all that was wrong with you,
You're the sweetest guy I've ever known.
I was already for you to ask me out
When Angel came with bad news.
The weapon the Scourge had was a beacon
And its light would kill those with human blood.
Someone had to shut it off before it destroyed all of us.
But whoever was to do that feat wouldn't be able to survive, The light at that close a range.
You knew that Angel would've done it,
He's the hero, he has to be noble!
But what did you do?
You pushed him aside.
And then you kissed me,
And I felt something that I had never felt before.
Love, happiness, what I wouldn't give to feel that again!
You finally showed me your demon face,
And said we'd never know,
If that was a face I could learn to love.
Of course I could've, I already did!
You leapt to the beacon, you knew you would die!
Why did you have to be the hero?
I heard you scream, it was horrible.
But what was even worse was when it stopped.
You left me sobbing.
So what if you saved everyone?
What about me?

Why did you have to go?
Did you know what you were giving up?
I guess you did.
And I know that I'll miss you,
But I will remember you always as my hero.
