Through the smoke and the mist Fake friends and worst fears All the foul talkin' peers And the shit it took to get you here You're still standing And on your own too, mind you Every step of the way, I followed right behind you Always there to talk to, lend a hand, relied on And everytime you hurt, I gave you two shoulders to cry on When times were hard and you got kicked to the streets I gave you shelter, bed, clothes, and always food to eat I knew what it was like to be alone, I been there too When you wanna die, God's punishment was to spare you It's like we're one and the same, and shared each other's pain Like we're related by blood just with a different name I never asked for compensation, forget it It kinda hurt that you would think that I would just expect it and accept it And so you know, that's not how it's supposed to be Just promise me, if I need help you'd do the same for me 'cause that's what friends are for, and at the least I'm that to you Don't let a snake with a smile on its face fool you 'cause shit gets better if you never think never And just remember, I'm down for whatever So, Songtexte [Chorus] When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up] And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up] Bad luck It happens to the worst of us And you can, bite the dust Or turn to people you trust When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up] And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up] Bad luck It happens to the worst of us And you can, bite the dust Or turn to people you trust It probably hurt me, more than it hurt you To watch you fall apart inside and know there's nothing I can do I tried to get you to talk, you just push me away But when you came to talk to me, I never knew what to say And it did, and it does break my heart everyday to know There's nothing I could say to make you look the other day And there were days when it would seem like life was lookin' up But things were changin', one lousy day just ain't enough I remember that night, I came home and found a note sayin' You were gone for good and out to make it on your own It's not the fact that you left, that went away with time It's the fact that you left and didn't have the guts to say goodbye But it's cool I went on with my life and forgave you Assumed that you were too far gone for me to save you I didn't hate you, I didn't pay enough mind to it You blew it And I knew wherever you were You knew it And then one day I got a knock at the door It was you, askin' me to take you back What for? How the fuck should I feel? I'm tired of being lied to So sick looking out that I could hardly recognize you You changed so much and i'll never forget it I've never seen you so scared, so sick and so pathetic I let you in, how was I to know you'd want more? Just as dumb as the idiot you took me for [Chorus] When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up] And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up] Bad luck It happens to the worst of us And you can, bite the dust Or turn to people you trust When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up] And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up] Bad luck It happens to the worst of us And you can, bite the dust Or turn to people you trust [Girl: Katchphrze, I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to say to you... and I couldn't take seeing your face once I told you I was leaving. Please, you're my only friend left.] I woke up early that morning, had a bad dream I broke out in cold sweat like something's not the way it seems And it wasn't I noticed that some shit was missing And I knew it I can't believe i'd been so stupid And this time, no letters saying, at the least, goodbye No signs that you were leavin' No attempts to apologize You looked me in my eyes and straight lied to my face You swore up and down that it was still there, just misplaced And for the sake of argument, I walked away You gave up on yourself, there was nothin' to say And you could turn the damn tables so you're back with what you're started with You callin' me the hypocrite? Hun, that's ludicrous I, bit my lip I hope you bite the dust 'cause you had done enough talkin' for the both of us Came and took all you can take And in the end, You weren't true to yourself So nevermind your best friend [Girl: I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, but- Katchphraze: Yeah, that's true yo. And I understand where you comin' from but I uh, I uh gotta run, I got things to do and stuff. But, all the best. See you 'round.] The phone rang the next day, I figured it was you So I let the machine get it, fell asleep for a few Hours, got up around two Checked the messsage, it's your sis Seemed like, she was panicing I called her right quick She was cryin' Cause you were dyin' In her arms Your last words were, \"have you no fear, i'm safe from harm\" But I got there Too little too late to save you I didn't get the chance to say I forgave you Maybe just that one more chance was all you needed And it was right there and you just couldn't see it Remember when I told you you should never give up? Well I gave up on you, the worst thing I could do And in the end, maybe you just needed me to listen That's when I saw you had that jacket I was missin' (Thanks to Kenneth for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
