Goodbye Brother Lyrics

esterday, I thought I saw you walking in the park
Yesterday, I swear I saw you sleeping in your bed
Yesterday, I could have sworn you kissed me in my sleep
Yesterday was just a day but now I only weep

Goodbye, son
Goodbye, brother
Goodbye, son

Yesterday, I fought with you and now it's been a year
Yesterday, I thought I heard you yelling in my ear
Yesterday was yesterday and now you're really gone
Yesterday, I had the time to wait for you to call

Goodbye, son
(Goodbye, brother)
Goodbye, brother
Goodbye, son
(Goodbye, brother)
Goodbye, brother
Goodbye, son
(Goodbye, brother)

Oh, brother, what is next
Should I know
Never thought you would go
You would go

Yesterday, I put on mother's dress to feel like I was loved
I see you in the mirror as I paint my nails, put on your gloves
I wore your hat, I wore your dress to keep you in my heart
In my mind, you like me as I am though we're apart

Goodbye, mom
Goodbye, love
Goodbye, mom
Goodbye, sadness
Now we're one

Goodbye, love
Goodbye, sadness
Now we're one
Goodbye, sadness
Now we're one

Goodbye, love
Goodbye, love

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.
