Without
i haven't grieved for you
cause i cannot accept that you're gone
maybe it's my mind's way
of making you live on
if i could turn back the hands of time
i'd tell you everyday how glad i was to have you in my life
we didn't share any blood
but love made our bond
i couldn't have loved you more
if we came from the same womb
i couldn't have loved you greater
if we'd shared the same room
you always were the brother i never had
and i was your sister, though i often treated you bad
and now to think of you, i get so sad
you belonged to God
we only had you on loan
but no one ever thought
you'd already be called home
my cousin, my brother, my friend
never thought there'd be an end
where you went your way
and i'd stay
still immersed in sin
but i will always love you from within
now we'll never be apart
cause my brother, i now carry you in my heart
