You truly are your mothers son, raised on praise
Doctors appointments and getting what you want
Your school years passed you by without a scratch
Your fathers pride, good intentions and your mothers loving hands

Being young at heart became a sin, (Being young at heart became a sin)
So you grew up and you gave in

Remember when you said, all you wanted was to be where you are today
I remember when you said that you'd be in this with us 'til the very end

Peacfully we watched you slip away, into the depths of the drugs
If she was the spark to ignite the flame, then we were the floods
When the fires came but she held the torches high for you that day

Remember when you said, all you wanted was to be where you are today
I remember when you said that you'd be in this with us 'til the very end

Being young at heart became a sin, (Being young at heart became a sin)
So you grew up and you gave in

Remember when you said, all you wanted was to be where you are today
I remember when you said that you'd be in this with us 'til the very end
My dear old friend
