The moment I let you go, I found myself
I had been buried, left behind
Waiting to be found
And I was so happy to set myself free

It is so sad
that I had
to love you
to know that
you never truly
loved me

Brother dear, wipe your eyes
it hurts my heart to see you cry.

Brother dear, have no fear
if she leaves I am always here.

Brother dear, careful with your heart
don't hand it to her at the very start.

Brother dear, I know it's hard
when your heart sits in your chest fragile and scarred.

I spent a lot of time searching for love in the darkest places

They all say sorry
as they grasp my hand.
But you can't really be sorry
for things you don't understand.

I spend too many nights thinking
Wondering, writing, dreaming
Of someone who doesn't even think of me
