Verse 1

You know every story, every scar, every mistake I've made

You've heard me talk in circles when my mind got in the way

Half the time we're laughing, half the time you're calling me out

But you've always been the one I know I can count on.

Pre-Chorus

We've spent forever talking 'bout the things we're gonna do

Like that Green Day concert when we're old enough to go

Maybe it sounds simple, but it's memories like those

That make a friendship feel like home

Chorus

You were there when life got heavy

There when everything went wrong

Never needed all the answers

Just somebody holding on

And if I never say it enough

Here's the truth, plain and simple, man

You might not be my brother by blood

But you're the closest thing I have

Verse 2

People come and people go, that's just how life can be

But you've been there through every chapter standing right beside me

We've had our share of arguments, times we didn't see eye to eye

But even when we fought, you never said goodbye

You know the parts of me I try my hardest not to show

And somehow you've never walked away when things got difficult

Pre-Chorus

You've seen the good and bad in me, the highs and all the lows

And somehow through the years you've always been the one who's close

Some friendships come and go like seasons passing by

But you've been steady through it all, right there by my side

Chorus

You were there when life got heavy

There when everything went wrong

Never needed all the answers

Just somebody holding on

And if I never say it enough

Here's the truth, plain and simple, man

You might not be my brother by blood

But you're the closest thing I have

Bridge

We've talked about a hundred things we're gonna do someday

Some'll probably change, but some'll find a way

Like screaming every Green Day song from somewhere in the crowd

Just another memory we'll make when life slows down

Final Chorus

You were there when life got heavy

There when everything went wrong

Through every high and every low

You've been steady all along

And if I never say it enough

Here's the truth, plain and simple, man

You might not be my brother by blood

But you're the closest thing I have

Outro

No, we don't share the same last name

Or a family tree that's tied together

But if somebody asked me who my brother is

I'd still point to you forever
