It's been years since I've called or wrote 

It's funny how I ignore 

The most vital thinking that we are always close 

Lord knows that 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 

Here I am again, never learn 

Can't return a call, show concern 

At times I think of change, 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 

Now that's all, it's been...



[Chorus] 

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 this time is borrowed?

I'm away where you can't always stay 

Go on though I cannot 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 this in my photo picks 

And there was one with me and you laughing 

Our inside jokes were everlasting 

Man you had to see it we had the biggest grins 

Damn, we were the best of friends 

No wishing we could say it 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 are way convenient, I can't believe it 

We were ties back when mic's was were singing and beating 

I mean it how could it come to this 

Out of everyone I lost, everyone I miss 

It's you and only you, you were the truest comrade a homie knew 

It's been...



[Chorus] 

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 this time is borrowed?

And I'm away where you can't always stay 

Go on though I cannot follow 

But I swear you'll never hear me say 

"So long."



Hard to top a simple rule, not a single thought 

Though 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 other days, staring at the skyline at the bay 

Thought I saw your silhouette, felt the tears ‘cause I know that you've been dead for seven years 



Some bruises will never heal, when we realize that I'm still here 

No matter what the burden that happened in the past 

It's sad to let it burn the friendship that we had so let's 

Value what we have 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 

But thank you, I don't say yet enough but thank you 

I know it's not enough to thank you but I'm grateful 

No living creation could ever replace you 

So I pray you and I will never stray to a place too far away to erase you 

Though it's painful I remain strong 

I'll stay faithful even though it's been...



[Chorus] 

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 this time is borrowed?

And I'm away where you can't always stay 

Go on though I cannot 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 did the accident

Broken glass, car window, broken as you fall into comatose 

So I pray for the sudden Holy Ghost 

Will you say the only that matters most is in vain 

The more you hold close the more it fades 

The more it replays, more a curse 

Here I am again, with my verses 

You deserve the years I disappeared 

Not a song, it's been...



[Chorus] 

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 this time is borrowed?

And I'm away where you can't always stay 

Go on though I cannot follow 

But I swear you'll never hear me say 

"So long."
