I had a hero when I was young And I hoped to God somehow When I got older I’d be the same I wish you could see me now… You’d smile if you saw how big I grew Turned into an addict just like you I use to forget the day You waved goodbye I cried… Please, don’t go Stay home 'Cuz mom and I still need you More than you could ever know With your lies You broke our home You used to be my hero No more… Can you imagine all I went through When I thought it was my fault Though I should thank you for the abuse Now I feel no pain, it all Got lost in the memory of you Cheap smile A fake “I’ll be back soon” So proud of your little boy You waived goodbye One last time, dad… Please, don’t go Stay home 'Cuz mom and I still need you More than you could ever know With your lies You broke our home You used to be my hero Where were you When I was so afraid? Mom says you threw us all away Lost your conscience to curb your pain I hope that you’re happy where you are Your ways have been branded on my heart Still not ready to say goodbye One last time dad… Please, don’t go Stay home 'Cuz mom and I still need you… But with your lies You broke our home You used to be my hero 'Til you left us all alone Now I’m so lost With no place to go And I don’t believe in heroes No more…
