Big Brother

Folder: 
2005

what do you do when the person who was your world goes away

leaves without a trace and you just find out about it one day

you don't know if you will ever see him again

and you want him near you but you can only pretend

he was like your big brother, the one you never had

and now that he is gone so far away you are so sad

he never told you he was leaving, left nothing behind

and this pain is tearing you apart eating you up inside



chorus

and now there is no one to hold you when you cry

he is gone and you never even got to say goodbye

he was always there to hold you when the tears fell

and now all he did was leave you hurting like hell

and now you don't want to let anyone in ever again

cause your too afraid that they will leave you in the end



what do you do when your best friend is gone

the one that you have held dear for so long

the one you loved like you loved no one else

the one big brother who cared about all you felt

you can't hide the tears in your eyes this time

you can't tell everyone that you are just fine

cause the pain inside is making you completely numb

and all you want to do is turn the other way and run

chorus



will he ever come back

will he ever come back

your big brother is gone

your big brother is gone

and all you can do is cry

cause you never got to say goodbye

chorus

Wow... Yeah, that exactly what I was thinking when Joli told me Adam went to California... I just didn't quite feel like saying as much. Thank god he didn't go and that Joli didn't know what she was talking about. What "brother" of yours left??
