Down for Life

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're young and disarranged We didn't know it any other way Now we're grown, he's still the same People see him suffering 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 through his thoughest 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? I... feel... that I can not protect my friend from himself All I've got are these lessons learned in life The lessons I've been taught, they still remain inside my thoughts Even as we speak as troubled as it seems He'll always be a friend of mine - that's the way it was and always will be When we're young and disarranged We didn't know it any other way Now we're grown, he's still the same People see him suffering I... feel... that I can not protect my friend from himself You... can't hear what I say Never going away Still friends down for life Can you still fight.?. All I've got are these lessons learned in life The lessons I've been taught, they still remain inside my thoughts Even as we speak as troubled as it seems He'll always be a friend of mine - that's 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?
