Brother

I didn't like you when I first met you but then you grew on me
I've got a tendency to like the wilder ones
Haunted by demons you were going through hell
I wanted you to be free
I didn't know if I could help or not but I wouldn't flee

Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
Have we crossed the point of no return?
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
My brother

Do you remember that night in the basement I walked in on you?
Gun at your head and finger on the trigger, I knew what you would do
We talked for hours and the tears came down
You needed an escape
I'm glad you didn't end your life that day in spite of all that weight

Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
Have we crossed the point of no return?
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
My brother

Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
