called you my brother

Verse 1

I had your back when the world went cold
I spoke your truth when the lies took hold
I stood in the fire, defended your name
Took every hit, yeah I took the blame
I trusted you more than my own blood
I gave you my heart, man, I gave you love
I bled for the bond, yeah I gave it all
Never thought you’d be the one to let me fall
(yeah, I gave you my all)


Chorus 

I called you my brother
I called you my own
Never saw the blade
Guess I stood too close
Too close
Broken or beaten
Call it what you like
But you crossed the line
So you lost my hand tonight
(from tonight)

Verse 2

Betrayed by the one I called my own
I fought your battles like they were my own
You stabbed my back, then turned away
Now you’re standing there with nothing left to say
(nothing left to say)

[Pre-Chorus 2 – Defeating / Cold]

I carried your weight, now I’m letting it fall
I won’t defend you, won’t answer your calls
You’re on your own, I’ve walked away
(this trust is gone)
There’s nothing left to say

Chorus 2

I called you my brother
I called you my own
Never saw the blade
Guess I stood too close
(Too close)
Broken or beaten
Call it what you like
But you crossed the line
So you lost my hand tonight
(from tonight)
(Lost my hand tonight)

Bridge

I see the truth, just a little too late
(A little to late) 
But I won’t carry all of your shame
(No not carry your shame) 
You can run, you can hide
Say my name like I am the blame
But I know what you became

[beat drops]

I was your shield, I was your friend
Even after all
You betrayed me in the end

[Final Chorus – Dark]

I called you my brother
I called you my own
Never saw the blade
Never thought you’d leave me alone
(Too close, yeah too close)
Broken or beaten
Call it what you like
You burned every bridge
So you lost my hand tonight
Tonight!

I won’t fight for you
I won’t cry your name
You made your choice
Now live with the shame
From tonight…
From tonight!
