I had to shut you out,
Or I would scream and shout,
I'm so sorry for that,
We could have had a chat.

It wasn't part of the plan,
Why do you do this man?
But you gave me no choice,
You should have heard my voice.

I had to do it to protect my heart,
When you didn't come home it all fell apart,
I would stay up crying,
And you are always lying.

You are my brother,
I wish you would rather,
Be here or not,
I shouldn't have to connect the dots.

I was just a kid,
I had to grow up fast ,yeah I did,
And be the responsible one,
That load was a ton.

I will always love you,
And that will always be true,
Even with the charges and the drugs,
And those friends who are thugs.

Please just be good for now,
And I will vow,
To be here for you.
