Brother (Live) Lyrics

You tried to climb your way to the top

Tearing down those around you

But you couldn't stop

Your life sank as though you were in quicksand

You crashed lives and left everyone to mend

I told you there was so much to look forward to

But you chose to lie down and beg me to look at you

Your pain was inherited from me

Say you wanted to die and wanted me to see

Loneliness crept up on both of us

Tapped me on the shoulder and wanted to hurt me

I chose to live and it decided to pass

Now's your time so make it last

Sinking in the pain that holds you down

Borrowed is the time that we are on

Hiding from the trouble you've caused

Tell me why your problems never get solved

We all gave you a chance

A chance you took for granted

If you told us you planned to die

Would that be a lie

Brother you're the example you became

On how life can leave you deranged

Now you've left and no one cares

Is that what you wanted to hear
