lyrics

Dear blood brother it's me
I'm writing you but it's too late
to take you back to better days
when you were young and I could protect you

We've been through hell and worse
got memories to make you hurt
life's not fair and wont ever be
spent so much time on the road going nowhere

Last night I had a dream
but you weren't you and I wasn't me
the words we used as weaponry
turned to dust and I start to remember

I give my love away
but I can't give what you won't take
a million churches couldn't pray
hard enough to put you back together again

I know you're in there somewhere
I hope the chemicals didn't wash you away
Sometimes I look into your eyes and see the old you
Looking back at me.

I know you're in there somewhere.
