Apologies first and foremost
It's been years since I called or wrote
It's funny how I ignore the most
vital thinking that we'll always be close
lord knows I never meant to forget
but my sense of sentiment, is inept
you were right it's evidential
I've been better with my instrumentals than friends
and here I am again, never learned
can't return a call, show concern
at times I think I changed, then again
I'm still writing letters that I never send
can't make amends, can't reverse
all I got is pencils, pens, and a verse
you deserve, the years I disappeared
not a song,
it's been so long , since I been without you
remember me and you were like family
no song could ever amount to
the memories that we had, can we
hold on though the time is borrowed,
I'm aware you can't always stay
go on though I can not follow
but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long...
I know it's a bit late to notice it
but today I flipped through some old photo pics
and there was one of me and you laughing
our inside jokes are every lasting
man, you have to see it, we had the biggest grin
damn, we were the best of friends
I wish I could say that in the present tense
but we begin every sentence with "remember when..."
and yeah, we had a blast, but what about now?
the only time we chat is when I'm in town
friends when convenient...
I can't believe it
we been tight since back when Mike was singing "beat it"
I mean it, how could it come to this?
of everyone I lost, the one I miss,
is you, man, only you,
you were the truest comrade a homie knew,
it's been so long , since I been without you
remember me and you were like family
no song could ever amount to
the memories that we had, can we
hold on though the time is borrowed,
I'm aware you can't always stay
go on though I can not follow
but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long...
Now, I perch atop a simple roof, not a simple thought
through my mind's aloof, and these shingles got
but a single truth, that my life just stops,
when I'm missing you, given to,
melancholy all the days,
staring at the skyline of the bay
thought I saw your silhouette, full of tears
'cause I know that you been dead for seven years
some wounds, will never heal,
but realize, that I'm still here
no matter what ever happened in the past,
It's sad to let it burn the friendship that we had,
so let's, value what we had left
and just forget, all of the past debts
though I've done some things, that I can't excuse
I hope you understand, I'm still the man you knew
so thank you,
I don't say it enough but thank you,
I know it's not enough to thank you, but,
I'm grateful, no living creation can replace you,
So I pray you, would never stay to,
a place too far away to embrace you, but it's painful,
I'll remain strong, I'll stay faithful
even though...
it's been so long , since I been without you
remember me and you were like family
no song could ever amount to
the memories that we had, can we
hold on though the time is borrowed,
I'm aware you can't always stay
go on though I can not follow
but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long...
apologies first and foremost,
I gotta stop talking to your, ghost
but you keep talking to me,
these dreams that got me walking in my sleep, please,
stop reminding me, can't subtract it
flashbacks, to the accident,
broken glass, car windows,
a broken grasp, as you fall into,
comatose, so I prayed
father, holy ghost, will you save...
the only thing that matters most, it's in vain
the more you hold on close, the more it fades
the more I replay, the more I curse it
here I am again , with my verses
you deserve, the years I disappeared,
not a song
it's been so long , since I been without you
remember me and you were like family
no song could ever amount to
the memories that we had, can we
hold on though the time is borrowed,
I'm aware you can't always stay
go on though I can not follow
but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long...
