[Verse 1]

Your story starts in the year 93

February 30th, the day of your birth it was

A glorious day, to say the least

A year later I come along and family’s complete

Well it was, for 6 weeks, Nicholas would plead

“Please don’t leave. You were a dad to me

And how could you walk out, on Sam and George”

“Kid, I’m going” as he walked out that door

A single mum, to raise three kids

Aged 12, 1, and just, six weeks

Turns out, I didn’t, fucking, need him

Cause you raised me, you were my brother

But more like a father, you were only a year older

Things grew harder, for you more than anyone

The kid in the middle you were just like Malcolm

Dunno how you, did it, but you still, stuck with it

When things got shit, it was mum and nick

Vs you and me, we were a team

"we’re still family, don’t forget that

You’re here for a reason don’t ever regret that"

You always knew, just how to fix it

Always, knew how, to lift, my spirits

But unfortunately that happened to you

Cause you, never, even existed

[Hook]

You were the brother I always wished for

But for, anyone that happens to be listening

Don’t get it twisted, George was real

In my heart, and he still is, he died by miscarriage

I never, knew him, but still, I miss him

He was the brother I always wished for

But for, anyone, listening don’t get it twisted

George was real, he still is, I miss him

[Verse 2]

So now, you know, the story, was fiction

But unfortunately for me I’m not a magician

My wishes have so far been useless

It’s taken everything in me, to do this

Growing up, always hating my dad

But it was mum, twisting the thoughts that I had

She made me believe that he didn’t care

So I grew up, not even wishing him here

So I guess he left at about the right time

In my mind it don’t make sense I won’t lie

Cause I’m still pissed that he could do that

How could a father leave behind

A child and say to himself "this life

That I hold in my hands, this was from mine"

Then leave 6 weeks into his life

He had his reasons, okay, that’s fine

But maybe a father at 22 weren’t right

Maybe you’d hold on to mums brainwashed hate

Your whole entire life, maybe it’s fate

That I’m here and not you but I still have to say

I imagine life better with you

But maybe we’d be like me and mum

We’re too far gone there’s hardly a bond

But I choose to believe, that we’d be a team

[Hook]

You were the brother I always wished for

But for, anyone that happens to be listening

Don’t get it twisted, George was real

In my heart, and he still is, he died by miscarriage

I never, knew him, but still, I miss him

He was the brother I always wished for

But for, anyone, listening don’t get it twisted

George was real, he still is, I miss him

[Verse 3]

I’ve got other brothers that I love dearly

But if they hear me I hope it’s clear that

With both of you there’s been some distance

Physically or emotionally and with George’s existence

I simply picture him being the bro

That I’d, go to in times, of sorrow

I love you both and now I hope

That we are closer than this song would show

But this is for George, so Rest, In Peace

To the brother, that I, can never, see

Someday, my kids, will have, your name

And know, the story that when I was eight

Halloween, was when, I would create

Out, of paper mache, the body

That would soon be yours, a face, drawn

By hand, newspaper filled, my clothes

I’m thrilled, you’re made, I placed, you on

Nick’s bed, as a prank, but mum, would say

Get rid of it, no, he’s my bro, I won't

She put, George in, the shed, and said

He stays here, out of, the way, and to

This day you’re still in my shed, I look left

You’re there, my brother, George and as

I’m recording this, the shed door opens

Slowly, I can only hope its you

Walking in, I hope you’re listening

And though, I ain't seen it, your face, I picture it

Man, I miss you, my brother George

But until the day you open the door

For me to enter into heaven

I want you to live through me

I’ll see you then, I love you, goodbye

[Outro]

Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell

But it’s not the end of the chapter

Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell

I’ll see you again in the afterlife
