Brother, I mean it when I say
I don't want to walk away
But I can't stand to watch a grown man fall apart
I don't know what else to do
As I suffer through your moods
My word to God, I never let a man break my heart
Except for you
Brother, I need to hear you say
You'd cut off a limb just to change
Then I'll drop the world and carry you on my shoulders
You tell me "worry 'bout myself"
It's a shame you got nobody else
Everyone fled as you came crashing down when the high was over
Except for me
You don't know what you've got
'Til all you've got winds up missing
I came as close as anyone could get
But maybe we'll be closer
From a distance
Brother, I mean it when I say
You can't keep fighting me this way
I want to stay cause I'm so afraid that one day they'll come knocking
Let me preserve these memories
'Cause I need to make believe
The kindred I knew will come running when you see me walking
Away from you
No, no, no you don't know what you've lost
'Til you've burned your last bridges
They say that hearts grow fonder from afar
So maybe we'll be closer
From a distance
Maybe we'll be closer
From a distance
