Verse 1 There are days that I call you my brother, And there are days that I definitely don’t. Do you understand the weight of your actions, Or does your selfishness just feed what you want? You walk away from the wreckage behind you, While the pieces fall into someone else’s hands. And I’m left trying to make sense of the damage, Trying to understand what I don’t understand. Pre-Chorus I don’t want to judge you, I don’t want to turn away, But love doesn’t mean pretending That the hurt will disappear. Chorus There are questions I need to ask you, There are answers you need to share. But most of all I need to know, Can I trust you to be around those in my care? Can I believe the words you tell me? Can I believe you’ll make things right? How do I love you as my brother When I’m still protecting what I hold most tight? Verse 2 I remember when we were younger, When your name meant a shoulder to lean on. Now every promise comes with a question, And every silence makes me wonder what went wrong. I know that everybody makes mistakes, And I know that none of us are without blame. But when the choices keep hurting the people around you, At what point do you take responsibility for the pain? Pre-Chorus I don’t want revenge, I don’t want to see you fall. I just need you to understand That your choices reached us all. Chorus There are questions I need to ask you, There are answers you need to share. But most of all I need to know, Can I trust you to be around those in my care? Can I believe the words you tell me? Can I believe you’ll make things right? How do I love you as my brother When I’m still protecting what I hold most tight? Bridge Maybe blood can make us family, But trust is something we must build. And forgiveness isn’t forgetting All the things that left us hurt. I don’t need another promise, I don’t need another excuse. I need to see that you can face it, I need to know the truth. If you want a place beside us, If you want to be called family, Then show me with your actions That your actions can be trusted again. Final Chorus There are questions I still have for you, There are answers I still need. And somewhere underneath the anger There’s a brother I still grieve. I don’t want to lose you, But I can’t ignore what’s there. So before I open up the door, I need to know you truly care. Can I trust you with the broken? Can I trust you with the scared? Can I trust you around the people Who depend on me to keep them safe and cared for? Outro There are days that I call you my brother, And there are days I just don’t know. Maybe someday we can find our way back, But trust is not something you can simply say. You have to show it. You have to live it. And maybe then… I’ll know.
