[Intro]
Yeah
To my little brother
I'm so sorry, man
It's time I say the words I should've said years ago
Listen
[Verse 1]
I look at old pictures, see the fear in your eyes
The shadow of a big brother wearing a disguise
The demons in my spirit had a hold on my mind
Left a trail of wreckage and a brother behind
I was fighting in the dark, but I was striking at you
Doing things I can't undo, breaking you in two
It wasn't who I was, but it's the trauma I made
Watching every single promise that I gave you fade
I had a sickness in my soul, let the cold creep in
And I projected every battle that I couldn't win
I cannot take it back, the scars are too deep
But I carry every tear that I made you weep
[Chorus]
But there are better days ahead, I can see the light
We're gonna mend the broken pieces, make it all right
Through the fire and the rain, we're gonna pull through
I'm building up the bridge that leads back to you
Yeah, the reunion is coming, hold your head up high
No more walking in the shadow of a stormy sky
[Verse 2]
Now I'm sweeping up the ashes, getting clean in the soul
Trying to take the shattered pieces and make 'em whole
It takes a real man to look his past in the face
And beg for forgiveness, praying for grace
I want to see you stand tall, want to see you succeed
Be the brother that you always deserved and would need
The distance was a prison, but the doors are unlocked
No more running from the ghosts when the memories knocked
We got a lifetime to build, got a history to write
We're stepping out of the dark and we're heading for the light
[Chorus]
But there are better days ahead, I can see the light
We're gonna mend the broken pieces, make it all right
Through the fire and the rain, we're gonna pull through
I'm building up the bridge that leads back to you
Yeah, the reunion is coming, hold your head up high
No more walking in the shadow of a stormy sky
[Outro]
I'm coming home, lil bro
Better days
We're gonna make up for lost time
Just wait on me
Yeah
