Always Proud of You
What have you done?
The team's fallen apart,
You've played with my fears,
And damaged my heart.
I've been there for you.
Yet we don't always see,
That most of the time,
You've been there for me.
You were King of the Lab,
Our opera star,
My innocent student
Who had made it so far.
Your logical thinking
And our rational fights,
Made choosing you for the job,
Just always seem right.
I was right when I said
You would find a home here:
Experimenting with Hodgins,
All your tech gear…
You meant more to us,
Than you'll ever guess.
If you had just asked for help,
We would have said 'Yes'.
If only we'd simply
Realized before,
We could have helped you
Win this war.
Yet you thought you could fix this
On your own.
For once, I don't know why,
Maybe to show how you'd grown?
With one million words,
Or one thousand stares,
I could never explain how much our team cares.
Now you lay in the hospital,
Damaged more than eyes see,
Confessing your sin
As you see Booth and me.
You accepted my logic,
Then realized your fault…
All this for one skeleton
Tied to a vault?
I press my head to yours,
As tears threaten my face.
It seems we have finally,
Reached the end of this case.
I was always proud of you
And always will be.
What happens now doesn't matter,
You're still Zach to me.
