Idol

I looked up to you so much as a kid

You were my Idol

Everything I wanted to be

I praised you with great words to all my friends and family

But look at you now

At first I didn't see it

The way you were digging deeper into the ground

How you let yourself down

Now you don't even have a place to call home

Just movin around

I saw you falling

Heard the warnings

But I brushed them off

Told them it was all fleeting

But now you've really done it

And I can't ignore

What happened to the big brother

I lived for

He was always so talented

And I loved his smile

I wanted to be just like him

But he hung with the "wrong crowd"

I miss you

The Idol and brother I had

Now I don't know what to do

My Idol is dead
