They say blood is thicker than water
Maybe if we were blood you wouldn't have disappeared.

I looked up to you,
but then you left and never came back.
So what happens now,
I wasn't as important as you once said.

Would you recognize me if you saw me
walking down the street?
And if you did, would you care to stop
and ask how I've been?
Let me tell you something that you
never cared to stop and ask:

I'm okay without you,
not like you gave me a choice.
You never seem to care,
once you left you turned your back.
Do I even exist to you anymore.

Remember me,
the “little brother” you didn't have.
The kid you gave advice to
The kid who ran to you.
Do these memories exist to you
or did they leave when you did.
Do you remember the talks where I trusted you
Do you remember the times when I wanted to
quit but you wouldn't let me.

Do you remember the child I used to be
because frankly I'm not that kid anymore.
You missed me grow up
because you never show up
to anything important in my life.
You moved away and never looked back
at the kid you left with a tear in his eye.

So tell me, who are you again,
I can't seem to remember,
the days passed by,
you never stopped by,
So forgive me if I can't remember the
“Big brother” who left and never returned.
