I Love You Like A Brother

She might cry herself to sleep tonight

You might act like everything feels alright

I might bite my lip, like the silent type

You might make a fist, like you trying to fight

Got ghosts that haunt that home

And if you didn't want that known then don't put it on a throne

You separate the foe from the friend by the showmanship

And the bones that don't bend

So now I'm studying your moves like

You the only one that knew how to do right

Present it with a sleeve of success

Like we all benefit if you achieve and progress

Maybe you're right maybe I'm just left but

Unless you walk a flight in my steps but

Unless you slept a night in my nest

You shouldn't waste your breath to criticize my mess

I love you like a brother

Even though I'm not your brother

We all got a few flaws

But let's try not to get too lost in the applause

I love you like a sister

Even though you're not my sister

We all got a few flaws

But let's try not to get too lost

Used to be rock, but now it's roll

Looking at the clock and the remote control

The circle contracts till you all alone

I put that on the people you've outgrown

And maybe it was all for show

But it was so convincing that the ground got cold

I guess anything's possible, under a spotlight we all got a note to hold

It goes

Don't throw no stones if you're living in a fish bowl

Blow a kiss though

Where the aim is based on which way the wind floats

And pride is a bottle on a fence post

I keep the shoes laced up

In case the people I love come to shoot the place up

I know we ain't cut from the same cloth

But a lot of those fights were just to say we fought

The mother turns, life is fragile

The struggle burns from inside of the candle

It doesn't matter how far you run from it, you're still gonna find it

You come from it

And even though we all equivalent

We gotta, hold on to the differences

We gotta, stand up for what we won't fall for

Let's give a round of applause for

All of all of y'all

I love you like a brother

Even though I'm not your brother

We all got a few flaws

But let's try not to get too lost in the applause

I love you like a sister

Even though you're not my sister

We all got a few flaws

But let's try not to get too lost
