Brothers

Oh you're taking your first breath
A heavy weight now fills your chest
A million strangers see you from the inside
For the first time
You say: It's what I've always meant
Well, now it really makes sense
Oh my brother don't hold your breath
I'll see you from the inside

And you're beautiful
All red and white
Yeah you're beautiful
I'll see you from the inside

Darling say what you want to
I think they'll really love you
Not for what you've done
But for who you've become
And oh my god, what is this
I needed you and you needed it cause
My brother say what you want to
I know that I'll always love you

No one really understands
Oh the fight of a man
Oh the fight of a man, well
You just keep looking at them
Thinking: What can they do that I really can't?

So no one really understands
Oh the fight of a man
Oh the fight to be a man well
You just keep looking at them
Thinking: What can they do?
I know you can

Darling say what you want to
I think they'll really love you
Not for what you've done
But for who you've become
And oh my god, what is this
I needed you and you needed it cause
My brother say what you want to
You should know that I'll always love you

And if you feel like you're too weak
I'll carry you off to sleep, I'll carry you off too
You've always been like a brother to me
I'll carry you off to sleep, I'll carry you with me

Darling say what you want to
I know they really love you
Not for what you've done
But for who you've become
And oh my god, what is this
I needed you and you needed it cause
My brother say what you want to
I know that I'll always love you
