Lyrics
I choked back tears today
'Cause I can't begin to say
How much you've shaped this boy
These last ten years or more
My friends, we've seen it all
Triumphs to drunken falls
And our bones are broken still
But our hearts are joined until
Time slips its tired hand
Into our tired hands
We've years 'til that day
And so much more to say
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
Out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
But I can see your faces
My friends, we've seen it all
When it made no sense at all
You dare to light my path
And found the beauty in the aftermath
Let me hold you up
Like you held me up
It's too long to never say this
You must know I've always thought
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
Out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
But I can see your faces
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
Out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
But I can see your faces
