George

[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
