I didn't believe it was true
That headline, it couldn't be you
My eyes were playing tricks on me
Thinking back to when I was a kid, I looked up towards you, and I will admit
I took your words like scripture on a page
That hasn't changed
That hasn't changed
Do you hear me screaming? Life's such a fragile thing
I hope you know what you are to me
Do you hear me screaming? Am I getting through?
'Cause I've spent so long, listening for you
You know, I never really told you how
You really influenced who I am now
And now I'm sitting here, with my regret
Of never telling you just what you meant
A hero to me, and I swear you still are
We all have vices, and you took yours too far
And I'm not judging you, just want you back
Do you hear me screaming? Life's such a fragile thing
I hope you know what you are to me
Do you hear me screaming? Am I getting through?
'Cause I've spent so long, listening for you
So now I look up towards the sky, star-crossed
I just wish to see you alive
So tell me now, do you hear the sounds I'm making?
'Cause I hope I'm making you proud
'Cause I've spent so long listening to you
Do you hear me screaming? Life's such a fragile thing
Life's such a fragile thing
Do you hear me screaming?
Do you hear me screaming? Life's such a fragile thing
I hope you know what you are to me
Do you hear me screaming? Am I getting through?
'Cause I've spent so long, listening for you
