Brother Through Everything

We go way back,

seems like yesterday,

Just two kids laughing our lives away.

Got a thousand memories nobody knows,

Some of the best times I'll ever hold.

We've had our ups,

we've had our downs,

Had a few hard days when we almost fell out.

But through every fight and every rough patch,

I'm thankful for a friendship like that.

You might not know what you mean to me,

You're more like a brother than a friend could be.

You're one of the people I can count on,

The kind of friend you don't come across often.

And I hope you know,

when the days get rough,

You never gotta wonder if you're enough.

I'll be right here,

whatever life brings, 'Cause you're one of the best parts of everything.

Man, I'm glad that I got you,

Glad that through it all,

we made it through.

Through every laugh and every tear,

I'm thankful you've been standing here.

If you only knew how much I care,

You'd know there's nothing that could compare.

You're more than my best friend,

you're my family, And I hope you know what you mean to

me.

If I got one thing right along the way,

It's having you as my best friend every day.

I wish I could see you every day,

Just pull up on you and waste time away.

Talk about nothing, laugh till we cry,

Never think twice about saying goodbye.

I don't say it enough,

but I'm proud of you,

And I hope you know I'll always come through.

No matter the season,

no matter the year,

You'll always have a brother right here.

And if life gets heavy,

if things go wrong,

I'll be in your corner,

I'll be there all along.

You don't gotta pretend that you're doing okay,

You can call me at midnight or any damn day.

I can't promise that life won't change,

Or that we'll always have things the same.

But I can promise,

as long as I'm around,

You'll never have to question the love I've got for you now.

Man, I'm glad that I got you,

Glad I got a brother who's honest and true.

Through all the years and all we've been through,

There's nobody else I'd trade you for,

dude. I hope when you look back down the line,

You'll know I'm grateful that your life crossed mine.

You're more than my best friend,

you're my family, And you'll always mean the world to me.

If there's one thing I hope you understand,

I'll always be your brother,

your biggest fan.

And I guess pretty soon,

I'll be packing my things,

Heading off to college,

chasing what life brings.

And I'll be lying if I said it won't hurt,

Leaving behind the place where we made all this work.

I'm gonna miss the random days,

The last-minute plans and our usual ways.

I'd give anything to keep things the same,

To see you tomorrow like it's just another day.

But I hope you know,

no matter where I go,

There's something about our friendship

that'll never let go.

And even

when I can't just come see you,

I'll still be that same old brother you got used to.

So thank you for the years,

for the laughs, for it all,

For picking up the phone,

for answering my calls.

I don't know what college or the future will do,

But one thing I know is I'll always love you.

I'm glad you're my best friend.

I hope you always know.

And no matter how far apart we are,

you'll never be alone.

You're my brother, not by blood,

but by everything we've been through.

And if I had to live it all again,

I'd still choose you.
