Brother of Mine Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

He said that he′s tired of talkin' about it
′Cause nobody ever heard a word he'd say
None of us took him serious, gave him the time o' day
Invisible, ′til you ran away

But blood is thicker than water, father always said
But that don′t mean a damn thing
When I look at your empty bed
So run back, run back to me
Run back, run back to me, brother o' mine

And I was the one who got the attention
Always the favourite son of the family (I never dreamed you felt left out)
I made you feel left out, made you feel like a stranger (it took some time)
It took some growing up for me to see


That blood is thicker than water
We should stick together right or wrong
I bet you think that these empty words
Aren′t worth the paper they're written on
So run back, run back to me
Run back, run back to me, brother of mine

And I′ve been looking for you everywhere
Your leaving showed me just how much I care
And I can't blame you for running away
But just come back some day

"Blood is thicker than water", our father always said
That don′t mean a damn thing
When I look at your empty bed
So run back, run back to me
Run back for family
Run back, run back to me
'Cause I love you
Brother of mine
