[Verse 1] We were matching scars and reckless laughs Crashing frat house kings, flipping plastic caps You were Batman, I was just the brute You pitched wild films, I’d play the mute Every story lit you like a flame Man, you made the boring days insane [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m walking through our greatest hits But you’re a ghost in all those clips Told the world we’d never split Now it’s quiet… and I hate it [Chorus] You're the half of me that never backed down The echo in the joke when no one's around You were the riot, I was the rage You were the punchline on every stage Now I carry you in every song I sing 'Cause you were more than just everything You're the brother I can’t replace And I still see you in my face [Verse 2] Remember weddings we weren’t booked to play? One acapella night turned into Saturday You hyped my art like it was gold Even when the world got cold You said, “Learn it, crush it, then make it shine” And damn, I did — but not in time [Pre-Chorus] You were the first to see my fire The first to light my funeral pyre Still hear your laugh in my desire Now I'm the ghost… but you're the flyer [Chorus] You're the half of me that never backed down The echo in the joke when no one's around You were the riot, I was the rage You were the punchline on every stage Now I carry you in every song I sing 'Cause you were more than just everything You're the brother I can’t replace And I still see you in my face [Bridge] If there’s a heaven, it’s got beer pong nights DC movies and rebel fights And you, still hyping all my dreams From the stars behind the screen [Final Chorus – soft to explosive] You’re the anthem I still scream at night The laugh that cuts through all my fright You were the fire, I was the flame And I’ll never burn the same Now I carry you in every song I sing 'Cause you were more than just everything You’re the brother time can’t erase Still standing right there in my face
