[Verse 1]
I know that I have done my best through every test
That I've struggled to find the right words for every breath
That I've defeated each enemy now the energy left in me
Is depleted but you won't let me rest
Old habits resurface, ride the crest
So again the anger manifest and claws in my chest
And to the best of my knowledge I know I cannot forget
And can't forgive that you're better at keeping secrets
You said it so many times: "never again"
And as your best friend I was with you until the end
I know nothing lasts forever but I figured the conclusion to this story would pass through every trend
But I was wrong as I always seem to be about you and me
So I'm saying goodbye, god knows I've tried
I'll always keep you inside but I gotta live my life
And a light is already hard to find
And harder with you around so I'll keep you in the dark
In the back of my mind, of my soul and my heart
And I'll reminisce of course of good times & laughs
But they are outweighed so I'm walking a new path, without you
[Verse 2]
My mama didn't raise no fool but maybe made me too nice
I been used by many, believed too many lies
Taken too many people at face value
But never again; this is the song to tell you
I've had enough, I'm a man, I'm a human being
See me sail away like Truman leaving
In case I don't see you, good riddance, now I'm through that door
Bring me that new world to explore
Free from the junkie, free from the liar
From the parasite tryna take the fuel from my fire
Free from the stress & the rest like the ginsu
You planted in my chest tryna take me down with you
You know your own father can barely look at you
Paranoid and delusional, you let the drugs win
Now I see you on the street, you're begging for change
But won't change yourself so we estranged
[Verse 3]
Just know that I loved you, man, like Segel and Rudd
More than you think the god above you does
Nobody was by you more than me through it all
Detoxification, rehabilitation, phone calls and visitation
If anybody was close to understanding the struggles that you were facing it was me 'cos I was struggling too
Every time you said it was your last, I believed in you
I played the fool
And then you hit the meth; I gave you an Ultimatum
It was "me or the chemicals corroding your flesh"
You chose me or at least that's what you said
But every once and a while whenever I saw you I saw death
So I will thank you for the few happy memories I can recall in which you were sober but I will never trust in you again
I will never cover for you, I will never suffer for you
'Cos we are not friends
