[Verse 1]
You still wear his smile
Like it means you’re safe
I know that look
I’ve seen it break
Your shoes on the floor
Your keys in the bowl
Same old signs
Same sinking hole
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my mouth shut
Then I watch you slip
I taste that fear
Like a name on my lips
If I say too much
Do you hear a warning?
Or am I just
Watching the storm keep forming?
[Chorus]
I love my brother to death
But I can’t hold this again
I love my brother to death
And I feel that old dread in my chest
If you start to fall
I might have to step away
I love my brother to death
But I can’t go again
(I can’t go again)
(I can’t go again)
[Verse 2]
Dad left dents in the walls
And holes in the air
We learned how to laugh
Like we didn’t care
Now you’re driving too fast
With that same dead light
And I’m biting my tongue
Every night
I keep your number
At the top of my screen
Like a prayer I’m scared
Will come back mean
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my mouth shut
Then I watch you slip
I know that sound
In the back of my ribs
If love is a bridge
Why does it shake like thunder?
I’m reaching for you
But I’m pulling under
[Chorus]
I love my brother to death
But I can’t hold this again
I love my brother to death
And I feel that old dread in my chest
If you start to fall
I might have to step away
I love my brother to death
But I can’t go again
(I can’t go again)
(I can’t go again)
[Bridge]
I’m not your father
I’m not that grave
I’m not the person
Who can save and save
I’ll leave the porch on
I’ll leave the door
But I can’t drown with you
Just to keep score
[Final Chorus]
I love my brother to death
But I can’t hold this again
I love my brother to death
And I feel that old dread in my chest
If you start to fall
I might have to step away
I love my brother to death
But I can’t go again
(I can’t go again)
(I can’t go again)
