through thick and thin
ive made my decisions
impossible to heal
or mend without incisions

you judge my character
call me a heathen
because i have left
your band of brethren

hold whatever you will
over my heavy-weighed head
but i'll always remember
what you've never said

how you truly don't appreciate
the sacrifices i made
or the prices ive paid
or the advice i gave

oh how i wish you could see
the greater man ive come to be.
