Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I see my brother
What I see is like no other
What we had, forever lost
Can't deny our friendship
Feeling like it's time to end this
Bad relation, ripped apart
When we were young and disarranged
We didn't know it any other way
Now we're grown, he's still the same
People see him sufferin'
I am not about to run away
Turn my back to him in his darkest hour
Give him will to fight
Antagonize his thoughts
See him threw his toughest times
Purify his weakened heart
All the friends, we feel the same
The way it was back in the day
The more we change, he stays the same
Will we ever see our friend again?
[Verse 2]
I feel
That I can't protect my friend from himself
[Verse 3]
All I've got
Are these lessons learned in life
The lessons I've been taught
Still remain inside my thoughts
Even as we speak
As troubled as it seems
He'll always be a friend of mine
[Verse 4]
That's the way it was and always will be
When we were young and disarranged
We didn't know it any other way
Now we're grown, he's still the same
People see him sufferin'
I feel
That I cannot help my friend help himself
[Verse 5]
You can't hear what I say
Never goin' away
Still friends down for life
Can you still fight?
Fight
Fight
Fight
[Verse 6]
All I've got
Are these lessons learned in life
The lessons I've been taught
They still remain the same inside my thoughts
Even as we speak
As troubled as it seems
He'll always be a friend of mine
[Verse 7]
The way it was and always will be
Now in the end, it's plain to see
What kind of friend he has been for me
All along, he could never see
Who he was and always will be
