We were born the same
But, something changed
We both partied
We both hit rock bottom
But, I've moved on, he's unchanged
The problem we all bear
His presence we all fear
No one truly understands
Unless you share the same heart
Ever so close but, so far apart
I wept when I stared into his eyes
He's so far gone and so alone
Lost inside his dispair
Booze is his comfort
I hate that I care
I HATE that I care
He holds my face and says
'My BIG, Little Brother'
My big, little brother
As I hold back tears
I make my way home
Compared to the streets
Mine must seem like a SuperDome
