First time I saw my daddy cry
The day my brother died
I didn’t know him well
His mother wasn’t mine
I was eleven at the time
It was a suicide
Found hung in the yard
He was 20 years old and his whole world was over
I heard it was over a girl
When you’re in love, your love is your whole world
And when it’s gone, it feels like so is your soul
But I know, there’s more to this story
Like how could he even think that way?
How could he base his life on one person?
What else was he trying to escape?
He was 20 years old and his whole world was over
I heard it was over a girl
When you’re in love, your love is your whole world
And when it’s gone, it feels like so is your soul
You need love from the ones all around you
Not just from the one in your bed
And if your blood can’t offer love
You’ve got to find it in yourself instead
I don’t know the moral of this story
Maybe he’s better where he’s at
