[Verse]
Ernie my brother side by side we stood
Through the shadows of a childhood misunderstood
Tears on our faces
No one to hear
Hand in hand
We clung to the fear
[Chorus]
Late at night for mom’s bottle we’d turn da cornerandhide
Three kids ourself we fought against the storm
No place to confide
Mentally bruised
Hearts torn and used
We lived our life in fear
Love refused
[Verse 2]
Physically broken
Words like a blade
Each scar a memory that time couldn’t fade
Stuffing the pain in
It burned like a flame
But Ernie my brother
We bore the same name
[Bridge]
We struggled to survive
Drowning in the tide
But your laugh lit the dark
A spark we couldn’t hide
Ernie my brother
Through the tears we grew
A bond forged in fire
Unbreakable and true
[Chorus]
Late at night for mom’s bottle we’d turn da corner and hide
three kids ourself against the storm
No place to confide
Mentally bruised
Hearts torn and used
We lived our life in fear
Love refused
[Outro]
Ernie my brother
We made it somehow
The pain shaped us then
But look at us now
Through every shadow
Every tear we cried
Ernie my brother
Forever side by side and through all them memories yet we still survived because only the strong survive
