O Brother, Where Art Thou? (lyrics)

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (lyrics)

A Poem by Jon Cooper
"

Keep in mind the way the lyrics would be sung differently with music than they probably read...

"

We laughed and loved like bothers
We were tighter than family
So what, did I do
To make you
Silently
Walk out on me?

Such a cold night alone
Such a cold life to live
And it seems that there's
No going home

It's so hard
When you've been
Turned away from the world

So stop telling me
You love me
Don’t wrap your arms
Around me
And act like you care
You know you were never there
And every word you spoke
Was just another lie

And now I know just how
Fake you are
Can't you even
See these scars
That you left on me
When you walked away
You never even said goodbye
Just walked away

I don’t need another black eye
To carry me through the night

I remember when family meant love
And I remember when you meant
Something to me
