Forever and all my memory I have found home sweet home with you
None of us walked the same path, but I would trust you all the way through
I never want to reach out and ask for help because we need to be strong for one another
None of it made a bit of sense at any moment in time
But we stuck together in modes of crisis, naturally partners in crime
I remember all the things I said and didn’t say, knowing you had my back
Maybe I could have tried harder, but you all understand the wisdom I certainly lack

We’ve all got skeletons and demons, not one exception I count
But I’m not judging any of you, that’s not what I’m about
Loyalty is everything or so I’ve heard now and then
But when we’ve had our little problems, we were quickly solid again
Whenever people came to me, to test the thickness of blood
Never once was it found to be watered down, and I would prove it to you if I could
Sometimes people try and come between, they find the weakest link
Try to fill your head with nonsense, before you have time to think

I stopped checking for the updates, that always come what may
To see this time for whom against me you blindly betray
It always hurts to realise another one has turned themselves away
What is it this time, how many’s that today?
One by one all of the people who care are wandering astray
I don’t want to cause you grief, just want my family to stay
Because whenever we stick together, nothing can stand in our way

When I see another person act as though they leave me behind
It must be worth it to pull faces at people with your pretty friends
The fact that they are using you, doesn’t seem to occur in your mind
You stopped and talked to me in the street, you were real with me whenever
Then one day you just changed, and it will probably be like that now forever
The fact of the matter is I’ve always tried to give you heart
Any time you wanted, you could have ripped my feelings apart
I would do anything you need me to, if you ever need a new start
My loyalty and my blood are all I have, so if they are no more,
It’s time to fuckin depart.

I don’t blame you for any of my problems, we had some laughs and took the piss
But at some point you decided to get personal about it, and that’s something else I miss
Whatever I must have done, whatever is behind all this
For all the things I could guess at or think of, ignorance now appears to be your bliss

During the remainder of my time here, which you might not know isn’t long
Maybe you should be real with me once – or tell me what the fuck is wrong
I’ll never give you shit back, because I’ve seen you cry the same
When these people who are standing on your shoulder now, made you feel like you’re to blame
If you don’t know how to put things right, or hang your head in shame
Then everything we have had is fucked, and it will never be the same
I hope you notice that I tried to understand
I really wish the reality, would emerge from all the underhand
