The Lying Brother

Details

Description

[Verse]
Oh brother of mine with your silver tongue
You wove your tales like songs unsung
Promised me gold but gave me stone
Left me to walk this road alone

[Chorus]
He lied he lied and I drank my pride
With the whiskey burning deep inside
He lied he lied and I can’t forgive
For a brother’s trust is a life to live

[Verse 2]
You said the ship would bring us fame
Instead it sank and left us shame
You swore the skies would never fall
Now I’m drowning in the storm of it all

[Prechorus]
Your words were sharp your smile was sweet
But lies don’t dance they only cheat

[Chorus]
He lied he lied and I drank my pride
With the whiskey burning deep inside
He lied he lied and I can’t forgive
For a brother’s trust is a life to live

[Bridge]
The fiddle weeps and the tavern roars
But no song can mend what the heart ignores
I’d trade this pint for the truth untold
And a brother’s hand that I could hold
