1
people always said "those two ainīt anything alike"
eddieīs such a good boy, james just gets in fights
heīll probably be a bum, just like his father was"


2
eddie sang in the church choir and worked hard after school
jimmy dressed in leather and blew his money playing pool
he pretendes not to hear the things they used to say behind his back


Ref.
in a room across town he just stares at the ground
cursing the night in his brotherīs candlelight


3
now jimmy he get mad when he used to hear his brother pray
said "nooneīs gonna run my life, iīm gonna do things my own way"
must have heard him say that at least a thousand times


4
and he wouldnīt 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


Ref.


Bridge:	
nobody has seen him, since the day he left
he could be on the road somewhere, he could be dead
thereīs a servant in a palace somewhere
thereīs a young girl on the street
thereīs a young man back at home
praying for his brother on his knees.


5
and heīs thinking about the time jimmy screamed across the room
"you always had it easy, things always came to you
People always liked you, you donīt know what it means to lose"


6
eddie finally said "we never did see eye to eye
you can blame me if you want to, for the problems in your life
but if you want things to change, itīs up to you to choose"


Ref.
In a room across town, he just lays with no sound,
cursing the night in his brotherīs candlelight
