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
