That day you said you're done Dropped it like a bomb, walked out the door

Nobody believed you, nobody followed I just thought you didn't mean it anymore

But you left, and every damn day I regret not chasing you

By the time I found you, it was already over

Now I'm stuck here fighting ghosts inside my head

The weight of what is pressing down till I can't breathe

Instead a few nights back, I saw you in a dream

You didn't leave, you fought, you stayed, you lived

And for once I told you I loved you

In a different reality, you're still here

We're breaking rules, laughing through the fear

Late night drives, just chasing down the light

Two brothers alive, in the chaos of life

In a different reality, I don't hear my breath in my head

Like I'm in a war, but somehow still dreaming instead

Your hoodie's still on the chair like you never left

And I see your name carved deep in the walls

Like you're still shouting through these hollow halls

You felt alone in a crowded room

Carried away till it became your doom

Hated yourself for who you were

But brother, you were perfect, didn't you see that hurt

I always pictured someday you'd be in that suit

Straightening my cuffs, laughing like you always used to

In my head, you're my best man right there by my side

But dreaming's the only place where that truth can survive

Cause in the real world now, there's an empty space

A future I imagined with your name in its place

You loved who you loved, and it made you feel wrong

Till the weight of their whispers pulled you under too strong

And now when I think of the day, I might say I do

I feel the ache of knowing it can't be you

In a different reality, you're still here

We're tearing down walls without any fear

Throwing fists, throwing jokes, throwing dreams to the sky

Two brothers alive, never asking why

In a different reality, I don't hear my breath in my head

Like I'm in a war, but somehow still dreaming instead

When he left, you broke inside, I saw it

But I never learned how to pull you right

He said you weren't enough, then walked away

And I should've been there to drag you from that place

You hated yourself for who you loved

Called it a curse instead of something above

But damn it, you were strong, you were real

This world never deserved the weight you had to feel

What if I spoke up that day

What if I told you it's okay

Could I have pulled you back from the edge

Or were you already walking ledge to ledge

In another world, we'd burn the sky

Still brothers, still wild, still defiant

In a different reality, you're still here

Your voice is strong and your heart is clear

We're ripping through the noise, taking what's ours

Two brothers alive, lighting up the dark

In that reality, I don't hear my presence in my head

Like I'm in a war, but somehow still dreaming instead

I love you, man

I always will

But now I'm fighting to keep both of us alive

In this world, you're gone

But in another, you're invincible
