Snow Patrol

I choked back tears today
Because I can’t begin to say
How much you've shaped this boy,
These last ten years or more.
My friends we've seen it all,
Triumphs to drunken falls
And our bones are broken still,
But our hearts are joined until,
Time slips its tired hand
Into our tired hands
We've years 'til that day
And so much more to say.
You give the strength to me,
A strength I never had,
I was a mess you see,
I'd lost the plot so bad,
You dragged me up and out,
Out of the darkest place,
There's not a single doubt
