Brother Lyrics

Brother, can't you see my heart is so unruly?
I can't get out!
And Brother, why do we throw stones when we should bury ourselves with our own stones?
our own stones!

Father, where do You find the love for someone like me?
I'll accept it
Father, I just want to be Your loving son though I don't deserve it on my own love,
my own love!
Ohhh

and it breaks my eyes to see them go
it breaks my heart to see them thrown
it breaks my eyes to see them go
it breaks my heart

Brother, can you see my heart is so unruly?
I can't get out!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
