Brother Song Lyrics

Everybody wants to see the worst in you
Shadowed by the actions of a path you can't undo
Get left behind
Get left behind

There must be a way to understand the things you do
Without getting too close to you
I can't find a reason why you wasted all our time
Get left behind

I won't share your anger
It doesn't do me any good to feel
And we can't take our feelings the right way
Until we learn things won't ever change
No

There must be a way to understand the things you say
Without letting it get to me
Wanted to get used to being locked out of your life
Get out alive

I won't share your anger
It doesn't do me any good to feel
And we can't take our feelings the right way
Until we learn things won't ever change
No

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.

Anthony: There's a song that we play in the set that I really enjoy playing. It's called "Brother Song," and it's a lower register for me to sing and it's a personal song that I really enjoy singing. I liked writing it, I like what it's about. It helps me. No matter what the situation is, I always really get into it when we play that song. It helps me connect. Songfacts: Is it about your brothers? Anthony: Yeah. Songfacts: How many brothers do you have? Anthony: I have three older brothers. Songfacts: That's kind of unusual for a band in the genre that you're in to write about family things. Anthony: Oh, yeah. I write about my family all the time. Songfacts: That's cool. Do they like the song? Anthony: I don't know. Songfacts:You don't know? Oh, come on. Anthony: We don't talk about it. I think it's hard for them to listen to. Songfacts:Because it's about them? Anthony: Yeah.
