Brother (Triple J Like a Version)

Callin' out your lover
Been callin 'out his name
He’s been hidin, he’s been hidin'
There’s only him to blame
Been crawlin' out to love her
He couldn’t tell it to your face
He’s been lyin', he’s been lyin'
Too ****** up by the pain

Once upon a time you met him on a summer’s night
Stomach full of butterflies, dressed in your best jeans
By the end of the next week
You woulda hit it up a hundred times, *** in them bed sheets
Now your singin' lullabies and you're blessed with a little girl
And in your eyes she’s beautiful
And true to form she rules your world
Don’t ever say it wasn’t worth it
But you’ve been seeing him for five years
And you can see it in his eyes yeah
And I can tell you’ve thought about it
Give me an idea
From the stories that I hear
Of course you doubt him
You mourn the sound when
He says he isn’t headed home
You can hear that fake voice break through the telephone
His alibis don’t hide his life on the side
You try to have faith but you never know

Break down
Pull yourself out of this state, dear
Acknowledge he was a fake, dear
From there on you might just grow
Throw it all away
Callin' out your lover
Been callin 'out his name
He’s been hidin, he’s been hidin'
There’s only him to blame
Been crawlin' out to love her
He wouldn’t tell it to your face
He’s been lyin', he’s been lyin'
Too ****** up by the pain

When did it all turn sour
Safe to say that now he’s underneath your skin
While you cower in the corner with no power left within
But you’re his lover
Even though you know he never loved ya
You suffer just being his insignificant other
Lipstick that’s smeared across his collar
His best kept secret that’s hidden under covers
Confide in your mother
Nursing a broken heart
Alone in the dark clutching at his photograph
When it comes to emotions you close 'em shut
Because he might just leave if you open up
And it hurts so bad
Think you’re gonna go mad
Contemplating the things that you don’t have
And you feel so sad
When he leaves that you reach for the prozac, Yeah

And now he’s standing at your gate
And he be acting strange, it’s sad to say
But girl you have to face it
Pack them bags that you’ve had stashed away
It’s a tragic way to end it
But if he can’t even pay attention
And if he can’t even make the effort
It’s way to late to save
It's a cold world no man’s safe from
You got soul, girl
Don’t let no man take none

Been callin' out your lover
Been callin 'out his name
He’s been hidin, he’s been hidin'
There’s only him to blame
Been crawlin' out to love her
Couldn’t tell it to your face
He’s been lyin', he’s been lyin'
Too ****** up by the pain

Ohhhh, ohhhh Ohhhh, ohhhhooooo
Too ****** up by the pain
Ohhhh, ohhhh Ohhhh, ohhhhooooo
Too ****** up by the pain
Ohhhh, ohhhh Ohhhh, ohhhhooooo
Too ****** up by the pain
Ohhhh, ohhhh Ohhhh, ohhhhooooo
