[Verse 1]
Buzzed your hair short
And you dyed it blonde
In hopes that someone would notice you
But what you didn't notice, baby
Is that you've been doing better lately
[Verse 2]
Sat by the banks and smoked
Until my lungs were black and bruised
In hopes that I would hear from you soon
And, just like that, you called me crying
Told me that it's not worth the tyrant
[Chorus]
I know that you were not
One of the lucky ones
A mind too bright and beautiful
A birthday without love
I smiled and told you honestly
A lot of things will change for you this year
[Verse 3]
And you forgot
Who you were when you were just a boy
I beg you, pleasе, don't lose that joy
The bluest huеs still wonder with you
The sombre tunes could never miss you
[Pre-Chorus]
Picked your last bud
And you said, “Maybe– Well, maybe not”
So the colour from the petals stained your jeans
You need to know I got you, baby (I've got you)
You need to know you're doing better lately
[Chorus]
I know that you were not
One of the lucky ones
A mind too bright and beautiful
A birthday without love
I smiled and told you honestly
A lot of things will change for you this year

I wrote this song about my dear friend, and with his permission, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and love for this person. He was battling, and overcame addiction, and I am so proud of the man he always was and still is. To know him, is to love him. Keep on inspiring people T.
