Two Legs

my brother said "i don't believe in love" to me

and i've heard him say the same thing twice before

i hear that pain

i got those wings inside

my heart's so full of pain that i could fly

if you said you wanted two days, i'd give you five

and i'd still be alive

ain't nothing gonna make me cry, i will not cry, love

if it made life easy for you, i would say goodbye

and love, if you said you needed two legs, i'd give you mine

"i walked away," he said

"i remember every day," he said

my brother said, "now boy, don't lose your head"

but i catch him smile, my guy

when I laugh, he asks me why

I say, "brother, i'm stuck up holding in my sky"

'cause baby, if you said you wanted fire, i'd need to pick my stars

i wanna bring you light

ain't nothing gonna take me down from here without it

if it makes you warmer, love, then i will burn the night

and love, if you say you need a new day, i won't ask why

i tried to stop him, but my brother got too high

he said that love's too much to hold sometimes

and i hold that pain, i do

i keep those wings inside

my heart's so full of love that i could fly

oh my love, if you said you wanted two weeks, you know i'd give you nine

and they'd be yours and mine

ain't nothing gonna make us cry, we will not cry love

if it made life easy for you, i would say goodbye

and love if you said you needed two legs, i'd give you mine

if you said you needed two legs, i'd give you mine
