For My Brother

<br>You`re simply saying everything if you will<br>Take a pen and write my name on a friend<br>Who never cared to let me in<br>And take a vast revine that for<br>Three years swimmin` straight upstream<br>And the wind...the wind won`t drag me down the end<br><br>You live inside my wall and I<br>I reach back, hit you harder than God falls<br>Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen<br>You`re such a line to break and I<br>I`m so scared to make another mistake in the end<br><br>But I just wanna be happy again<br>Until it all falls down<br>And where does that leave me?<br>Well, things, things, I`ve got so many things to say<br>And with a broken heart, and a straight face<br>I`m sayin` Brother, help me<br><br>It`s just a natural phase that I<br>I go through and then it`s taken away<br>And then BAM! BAM! I`m fixed<br>Yeah, and I`m in another place to be where I<br>I can`t sleep without the thought of me being so<br>So damned sick<br><br>Take this song, take this song away<br>Until it all falls down<br>And where does that leave me?<br>Well, things, things, I`ve got so many things to say<br>And with a broken heart and a straight face<br><br>And he says Reach for the girl<br>Reach for the girl and hold her close<br>Believe you can shine when you`re silver<br>And I promise you gold; I promise you gold<br>And whenever you`re dark inside<br>Don`t let go; no, don`t let go<br>Remember there`s rain and there`s candy and Christmasy winter snow<br>And remember I love you the same<br>And I`ll strangle your pain<br>And he tells me to sing<br>So I sing, so I sing<br>For my brother who keeps me safe<br>And tells me everything will be OK.
