-* [Woman] – Regretful, anxious, defensive * [Man] – Shocked, devastated, angry ----------------------------- ## [Verse 1] [Woman] Hey babe, I have something to tell you Sit down, please don’t look at me that way [Man] Oh, okay, do go ahead and tell me You're shaking, what is causing this delay? [Woman] Well, I... I don't know how to start this [Man] What? You're starting to scare me, just speak [Woman] Tell me what it is? Okay, just breathe in... Well, I'm pregnant, but the future is bleak [Man] Wait, we've been trying for a year now! Is that a tear? Why aren't you happy, love? [Woman] Because you're not the baby’s father... It's your brother. The one you're proud of. I'm sorry, babe. ------------------------------ ## [Chorus] [Man] Your brother? Your brother?! Say it again, I can't breathe My own blood? Under my roof? You turned my trust to grief ------------------------------ ## [Verse 2] [Man] So you're telling me you cheated on me In our bed, while I was out working late? When, when was this even happening? Give me a timeline for all of this hate [Woman] It was that night back in December You two had that massive, bitter fight [Man] You and my bro don't like each other! He hates you, you claim he’s never right! So why would you do this to me? Why choose the one person who tears us apart? [Woman] It was a mistake born of loneliness, whiskey, and spite... ------------------------------ ## [Chorus] [Man] Your brother? Your brother?! Say it again, I can't breathe My own blood? Under my roof? You turned my trust to grief ------------------------------ ## [Verse 3] [Woman] I never meant for a family to shatter The secrets were choking the breath out of me I wanted to hide it, pretend it was yours But the guilt wouldn't let me just let it be [Man] You think that honesty makes you a saint? You're carrying his child, looking at me! Every holiday, every Sunday dinner A ghost of your betrayal is all I will see ------------------------------ ## [Bridge] [Man] I was right here! Building a life in the dark [Woman] I know I was wrong I left a permanent mark [Man] You let it fall apart With the one man I trusted from birth [Woman] One last look... [Man] One last look, and you showed me my worth And you broke my heart. Yeah, you broke my heart! ------------------------------ ## [Guitar / Piano Solo - Intense and Melancholic] ------------------------------ ## [Chorus] [Man] (Heavy focus, main vocals) Your brother! Your brother! Say it again, I can't breathe [Woman] (Harmonizing / Crying out underneath) (I'm so sorry, I can't breathe) [Man] My own blood! Under my roof! You turned my trust to grief [Woman] (I turned your trust to grief...) ------------------------------ ## [Outro] [Man] Pack your bags. Get out of my house. Don't call his phone either. [Woman] Babe, please, where am I supposed to go? [Man] Go ask your baby's father. Because you don't live here anymore. [Woman] (Softly sobbing) I'm sorry, babe... [Man] (Door slams shut) ------------------------------
