lyrics

HEY BROTHER
Tristan Wimmer / Mark Nesler

I was blessed to have a brother
I realize that now
I sure wish I’d known that when you were still around you’ve been gone Eight long years
And man it’s still hard
Maybe that’s why you’re hanging ‘round like some distant star
Hey brother
There’s some things I need to say
Words I kept bottled up
Till you blew yourself away
Like I love you, I miss you
I’m sorry that I chose
Afghanistan over you when you needed me the most
Hey brother

I didn’t know how much
You looked up to me
I’m just now hearing that from all your friends I meet
You were so goddamn funny
So many good times looking back
No doubt I’d give anything just to hear you laugh
Hey brother

There’s some things I need to say
Words I kept bottled up
Till you blew yourself away
like I love you, I miss you
You didn’t die in vain
And even though it’s not my fault I still take all the blame
Hey brother

Thank you for the parachutes
And clothes you left for me
Guess it should come as no surprise that they fit me perfectly
I’ll become The man you saw in me
If it’s the last thing that I do
And I promise to be a better dad than the brother I was to you
