Not from today..

Verse 1

I had your back when the world went quiet,

When nobody else even tried it.

I spoke your truth when the lies got loud,

Stood ten toes when they counted you out.

I stood in the storm, took your side,

Let it break on me every time.

I trusted you deeper than my own blood,

Gave you my heart, man, I gave you love.

I bled for the bond, I gave it all,

Never thought you’d be the one to watch me fall.

(Yeah… I gave you my all)

Chorus

I called you my brother,

I called you my own.

Never saw the blade,

Guess I stood too close.

Too close…

Broken or beaten,

Call it what you like,

But you crossed that line,

So you lost my hand tonight.

(From tonight)

Verse 2

Betrayed by the one I called my own,

Fought your battles like they were bones in my bones.

You cut me deep, then you turned away,

Now you’re standing there with nothing left to say.

(Nothing left to say)

I held you up when you couldn’t stand,

Now you don’t even recognize the man.

You talk like you’re hurting, like I’m to blame,

But silence says what you won’t say.

Pre-Chorus

I carried your weight, now I’m setting it down,

Won’t save you anymore, won’t be around.

I won’t defend you, won’t answer your calls,

This trust is gone…

Yeah, it’s gone.

Chorus

I called you my brother,

I called you my own.

Never saw the blade,

Guess I stood too close.

(Too close)

Broken or beaten,

Call it what you like,

But you crossed that line,

So you lost my hand tonight.

(Lost my hand tonight)

Bridge

I see the truth, just a little too late,

But I won’t carry all of your weight.

You can run, you can hide,

Say my name like I’m the blame,

But I know…

I know what you became.

I was your shield,

I was your friend.

Even after everything…

You betrayed me in the end.

Final Chorus

I called you my brother,

I called you my own.

Never saw the blade,

Never thought you’d leave me alone.

(Too close… yeah, too close)

Broken or beaten,

Call it what you like,

You burned every bridge,

So you lost my hand tonight.

Tonight….

Outro

I won’t fight for you,

I won’t cry your name.

You made your choice,

Now live with the shame.

From tonight…

Yeah, from tonight.

Won’t fight for you..........

Not from today..
