brother of mine

Singer:barnes, jimmy

he said that he's tired of talkin' about it

'cause nobody ever heard a word he'd say

none of us took him serious

gave him the time of day

invisible

'till he ran away

blood is thicker than water

our father always said

but that don't mean a damn thing

when i look at your empty bed

so run back

run back to me

run back

run back to me

brother of mine

i was the one who got the attention

always the favourite son of the family

made you feel left out

made you feel like a stranger

it took some growing up for me to see

that blood is thicker than water

we should stick together right or wrong

i bet you think these empty words are not worth

the paper they're written on

so run back

run back to me

run back

run back to me

brother of mine

i've been looking for you everywhere

your leaving showed me just how much i care

i can't blame you for running away

but just come back some day

blood is thicker than water

our father always said

but that don't mean a damn thing

when i look at your empty bed

so run back

run back to me

come back to family

run back

run back to me

cause i love you

brother of mine
