[Verse 1 - Mike]I had a friend named VictorThe two of us used to hang every single dayAnd it seemed like overnight that his whole life / just changedI know when his mom and dad broke up / it didn't make senseBut I know that his dad was a drunk and he gambles away the rentPretty soon Vic was seeing red / pissed off / but insteadHe'd drink every night 'til he passed outThen he'd do it all againThe whole time / smiling on the outside to cover the painBut on the inside / all he was trying to do was get away
