He was an honest man, he was a father damn.
He had a son, he had a daughter, he had a problem and
Addiction was always a part of him
Lord knows he was fighting that
Most people don't understand
That addiction will fight you back and you can be strong.
Hell
He was strong.
He showed no pain, he just smiled all along.
Wish he'd have picked up the phone
When he felt all alone
If he'd have called me that night,
I know he would not be gone
Well so long, my friend.
He was sober for the first time in a long time and he said to me
He finally felt alive again.
It's about time, an everyone's proud time, but the one time
He decided to go out again was his last time, Cause on that night, I got the call telling me
I just lost my friend
And just one time took you from us I, Just wish that I could hear you say you felt alive again.
I need to talk to the people, yeah they need to know what it is.
My friend was a superhero,
At least that's what he was to his kids
Yeah, he was a hell of a man
Would do anything for his friends.
He never backed down, nor ran from nothing, always stood and
Fought to the end, aww yeah
And I know deep down that you've been trying to change,
but these people always judge you, they can never feel your pain
And they'll never know just what it really takes
To take addiction out before it goes the other way
He was sober for the first time in a long time
And he said to me he finally felt alive again.
It's about time an everyone's proud time
But the one time he decided to go out again was his last time.
Cause on that night I got the call telling me I just lost my friend
And just one time took you from us I,
Just wish that I could hear you say you felt alive again
