[Verse 1]
Used to share a room and a busted game
Hand‑me‑down shoes, but we ran the same
You were skipping class, I was faking faith
Mama said “be strong,” so we wore that face
You were sixteen, staring through the screen
Saying “One day out there, I’ll be seen”
Now I’m out here, crowd up in my sight
But your side of the stage stay quiet every night
[Chorus]
Don’t forget me, brother
If I go too far
If my name’s in rooms
You can’t even start
If I drown in praise
And the noise gets loud
Don’t forget me, brother
When the lights die down
[Verse 2]
Phone full of texts I ain’t answered yet
You sent one line: “Bro, you’ll never forget?”
I left it on read, left home on a plane
Came back to a frame and a suit and your name
They say time heals, it just moves the pain
From the front of my chest to the back of my brain
Every song I write, every line I claim
Got your laugh in the cracks, got your ghost in the grain
[Chorus]
Don’t forget me, brother
If I go too far
If my name’s in rooms
You can’t even start
If I drown in praise
And the noise gets loud
Don’t forget me, brother
When the lights die down
[Bridge]
I keep your old hoodie by the backdoor hook
Your notes in a box, your name in my hook (oh)
If I ever make peace with the roads we chose
I’ll save you a seat in the front row
[Chorus]
Don’t forget me, brother
If I go too far
If my name’s in rooms
You can’t even start
If I drown in praise
And the noise gets loud
Don’t forget me, brother
When the lights die down (when the lights die)
Don’t forget me, brother
I’m still home somehow
