Album: Promise of Love
People always said
"Those two ain't anything alike
Eddie's such a good boy
James just gets in fights
He'll probably be a bum
Just like his father was"
Eddie sang in the church choir
And worked hard after school
Jimmy dressed in leather
And blew his money playing pool
He pretended not to hear the things
They used to say behind his back
In a room across town
He just stares at the ground
Cursing the night
In his brother's candlelight
Now Jimmy he'd get mad
When he heard his brother pray
Said "No one's gonna run my life
I'm gonna do things my own way"
Must have heard him say
That at least a thousand times
And he wouldn't take advice
He just kept repeating his mistakes
Threw away his future
On the choices that he made
Always had something to prove
He was gonna be a big man someday
In a room across town
He just stares at the ground
Cursing the night
In his brother's candlelight
Nobody has seen him since the day he left
He could be on the road somewhere
He could be dead
There's a servant in a palace somewhere
There's a young girl on the street
There's a young man back at home
Praying for his brother, on his knees
And he's thinking about the time
Jimmy screamed across the room
"You always had it easy
Things always came to you
People always liked you
You don't know what it means to lose"
Eddie finally said
"We never did see eye to eye
You can blame me if you want to
For your problems in your life
But if you want things to change
It's up to you to choose"
In a room across town
He just stares at the ground
Cursing the night
In his brother's candlelight
In a room across town
He just lays with no sound
Cursing the night
In his brother's candlelight
In his brother's candle light
