I Lost My Hero , By Ralinda Owens
Sittin? on my porch I stop to wonder, what does it take to belong?
Instead of always fightin?, couldn?t love keep us strong?
(Chorus)
Do you know how much I loved you, how you were my hero?
(And) do you know how much I loved you, how high the pedestal?
But now you?re gone, you hurt me and moved on, and I lost my hero.
Drivin? down the road I start to wonder, why couldn?t we figure it out?
When we were together, couldn?t love replace the doubt?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Was it worth it, to hurt me? To throw water on the flame?
My shattered heart is shards of glass; it hurts to speak your name?
(Chorus)
