For You Too

Twenty years, and the bond's still strong.
through a broken family, and a broken heart,
you were there.... there for it all.
I changed, you changed, but I held onto your hand
(I changed, you changed, but I always knew where we'd land)

the waves came and went,
we drowned a thousand deaths.
but remember... handprints set in stone,
(yeah remember... words etched in stone,)
they never wash away.

you're still here with your solid stare,
(and you're still here with your nodding head).
when you uttered those words,
your heart fell out of your mouth.
...and with those words came my utmost respect.
I know what it means to go that route,
and I know the pain you went through to figure it out.

the waves came and went,
we drowned a thousand deaths.
but remember... handprints set in stone,
(yeah remember... words etched in stone,)
they never wash away.

now I'm choked by a tongue that's twisted
around this heart in my throat.
so this is my way of telling you
that no matter what I say
(and no matter what I do),
this one will always be fore you
