You were always there for me when I needed you
You picked me up whenever I fell down
Standing by my side when no one else would
Even though I never really deserved you

Day after day my life a complete mess
The story of every lonely, suicidal teen
You never gave up on this wasted life
And now as time has passed, I must confess

I know I’ve always been embarrassing
I’ve always been the black sheep in your family tree

And through a small chain of mistakes
Now you can’t even look me in the eye
I know in my heart it will never be the same
And everyday another piece of me breaks

I know deep inside you used to love me
Even if you never really liked me
I know I’ve always been embarrassing
I’ve always been the black sheep in your family tree

But if I could say one last thing to you
It would be to thank you, to tell you how much I miss you
Even if we’ll never be family again

And through a big chain of mistakes
I let you down too far to ever come up again
And even though it pains me in every way
It’s not really your fault
That everyday another piece of my heart breaks

But the worst pain of it all is what I say to you now
To the family I've always known... goodbye
