Solitude Lyrics - Honor Among Thieves - Edwin Mccain

Tim he was a good friend 

Yea was a brother of mine 

We were imaginary comic book superheroes 

Kids wasting time 

We were prisoners of our youth 

We were growing up strong 

'Till the day he was taken away 

For something he did wrong 

Tim came 'round just the other day 

And boy he had some stories to tell 

His mama kept him locked up in a rehab 

Although the doctors said he was well 

He said yeah I been through the anger 

And the hatred towards my mom 

And I put all that behind me 

Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom 

He said thank you mom for fixing 

My clouded broken mind 

But excuse me if I seem a little rude 

While I was missing my childhood, 

My brother and my prime 

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude 

Well growing up these days just ain't easy 

And the kids they're doing the best that they can 

So mama you better think twice 

Before you lock your kid up 

And throw away the key 

'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man 

He said thank you mom for fixing 

My clouded broken mind 

But excuse me if I seem a little rude 

While I was missing my childhood, 

My brother and my prime 

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude 

Tim left town yesterday 

He left me with these words 

He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give 

But my childhood is gone 

And I'm not afraid of dying 

I'm gonna grab the world by the horns 

And learn how to live 

He said thank you mom for fixing 

My clouded broken mind 

But excuse me if I seem a little rude 

While I was missing my childhood, 

My brother and my prime 

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude
