Lyrics
Big Brother
Big brother, are you a friend to me
Or make believe ~ may I believe
What is it you call your own
You keep tied up so tight
No mirth allowed until you’re sure
Live lonely in the night
Little sister, are you a friend to me
Or make believe ~ may I believe
When you fear you’ve fallen down
It’s time to start again
Your heart is bruised you look around
I’ll always be your friend.
I won’t cry…
Freshly broken, you were the remedy
Loveless token, you were the enemy
What chance did I have not to fall in love
And what were you chasin’ if it wasn’t my love
What were you chasin’ if it wasn’t my love
