times change, friends leave and life doesn't stop for anybody

you truly are your mother's son

raised on praise

doctors' appointments and getting what you want

your school years passed you by without a scratch

your father's pride

good intentions and your mother's loving hands

being young at heart became a sin

so you grew up and you gave in

remember when you said

all you wanted was to be where we are today

i remember when you said that you'd be in this with us 'til the very end. peacefully we watch you slip away

in the depths of your drugs and the mistress on whose mental state you'd prey

if she was the spark to ignite that flame

then we were the floods

when the fires came but she held the torches high got you that day

remember when you said

all you wanted was to be where we are today

i remember when you said that you'd be in this with us 'til the very end. my dear old friend
