My brother he left long ago
Told me he never felt at home
Took all the photos from the wall
Couldn't live inside these halls
Left his friends by the road
Told them he needed something cold
So he turned to the pills and the drink
Told them he didn't need to think
Now he sits alone in his room
Needed service for his tomb
And he shivers alone everyday
Can't treat this kind of plague
I know you're trying something that you won't like
I know you're hoping love will enter in your life
But you left us by the road
For a drug you don't know
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
The more you take I give
I'm bleeding out while you live
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
My brother will cry tomorrow
When he can't take the sorrow
Told him you weren't good enough
That's when I gave up
'Cause you want sympathy
But you've done this to our family
That day she left you long ago
Told you she needed something close
But that's alright with you
Once you get the fix that's due
So you're barred out and all alone
In a house that doesn't feel like home
'Cause you stole all it's innocence
With the dirty money you spent
I know you're trying something that you won't like
(You won't like)
But you left us by the road
For a drug you don't know
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
The more you take I give
I'm bleeding out while you live
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
I know you're trying something that you won't like
I know you're hoping love will enter in your life
But you left us by the road
For a drug you don't know
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
The more you take I give
I'm bleeding out while you live
I left my sanity behind
Dying just to keep you alive
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't keep you alive
