I Knew You Once

I knew you once
When we were young
And summer days were still warm to the touch
And skies were blue, when I was with you
I called you brother once
Our father's sons, the both of us
Now staring down each other's blades
The rain washed words like "brother" away

I knew you once
Not anymore
And I can't say that I knew you before
When storm clouds came, you came clean
With betrayal in your eyes
An ice wall built between us where my father died
Staring down each others blades
The rain washed words like "brother" away

Fool of me to not have seen between your lies
And cruel of me to not have seen
How it tore you up inside

I knew you once when we were young
Until the day you took that fantasy away from us
Out of the blue I never knew you
Oh Little Brother, full of wiles
Sharp of tongue and twisted smiles
Staring down each others blades
The rain washed my brother away

Staring down each others blades
The rain washed words like "brother" away
