Vacant Stranger Lyrics

I said Intimately

He's my older brother

I'm his family

The silence turned awkward

I saw it in her eyes she asked

Where have you been

My tears couldn't lie

Why did you leave me

I loved you more than air

Now I look in your eyes

And you're not there

You were my hero

Now eyes so bloodshot red

You were the idol

I worshiped like the sun

How did you become

The vacant stranger in this bed

I took out my guitar

Began to play for you

The only voice I have

It will have to do

My fingers spoke the truth

The music fell like rain

You looked so frail and helpless

I could barely stand the pain

Why did you leave me

I loved you more than life

Now I look in your eyes

And I can't find the light

You were my hero

Now eyes so bloodshot red

You were the idol

I worshiped like the sun

How did you become

The vacant stranger in this bed

I prayed and prayed for a miracle

Over time I lost all hope

My conscience cried he must be there

But believing is a slippery slope

Why did you leave me

I loved you more than air

Now I look in your eyes

And you're not there

You were my hero

Now eyes so bloodshot red

You were the idol

I worshiped like the sun

How did you become

The vacant stranger in this bed

Vacant stranger in this bed

You're still my hero
