lyrics
well the first time that I failed you, how were we to know this at the time, that over the years it would become a habit of mine, brother brother, did I protect you, did I take you under my wing, stand with you arm in arm I have to say I don’t remember everything, and sister sister, don’t I owe you roses and their petals strewn across your path, search these empty pockets now, see I could always make you laugh, father father, I did not listen, and you no longer have the words to say, I know I’ll never make it up to you and you’ll forgive me anyway, mother mother, did I disappoint you, did I stumble in my word or deed, you know I never could quite figure out how I could give you what you need, darling daughter, darling son, don’t you regret a single thing you’ve done, I know when you turned your face from me you turned it to the rising sun, cause when I failed you it was not malice, see I an’t guilty of the sin of pride, it’s just there was not quite enough of me to fill the hole I have inside, so pick me up, when I’m dragging, hold me close when you feel my spirits flagging, we are in this mess together, I know nothing lasts forever, and your love is what I’ll never understand, yeah, we are in this mess together, I know nothing lasts forever, and your love is what I’ll never understand, so pick me up, don’t put me down, I’m not the same without you around, we are in this mess together, I know nothing lasts forever, and your love is what I’ll never understand, and I will try to make it up to you, with everything I say or do, I said it so it must be true, it’s true, I love you
