lyrics

Lyrics~

If I could just go back in time, to when we were pre-teens
I'd warn us of the troubles ahead, and maybe then we'd see
The seasons of our lives and the turning of the tides
Don't need to be fraught with what was handed down the line

Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?

We could've had it worse, yeah, somebody always does
There's no denying the truth of being shown so much love
But if I knew then what I surely know now,
I swear we'd have had a better life somehow

Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?

Grief has a way of storming in and tearin' us asunder
It's hard to resist the urge to let it pull you under
The deep dark blue waves of sorrow and regret
I know I can not stay here but I'm not over it yet

Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?
No it doesn't really matter now, does it?
It doesn't really matter now, does it?
Does it really matter now? Does it?

Brother....
Brother.....
