Letters Lyrics - Singles - Alan G.

BILLY: 

Dear Tom, It's your Little Bro Billy 

Just wrote to say I miss you so 

And Tom, it's just a little bit silly 

But I've run away, run far from home 

The whole world just bullies me 

I got hate up to my knees 

And it seems my dream is startin' to fade 

Please write to your Little Bro Billy 

I'm here all alone - and I'm afraid 

TOM: 

Dear Billy, It's your Big Bro Thomas 

Hello from halfway 'cross the earth 

Like you, I'm keepin' our promise 

To stand up for ways that all have worth 

And I know it don't seem fair BILLY: Not sure why I did this 

That your brother just ain't there BILLY: I'm still just a kid 

But I understand you're tryin' to be true 

Listen up, my Little Bro Billy 

There're some things we all just gotta do 

BILLY/TOM: There's one that you find 

BILLY: Knows what to say when the world has kicked you down 

BILLY/TOM: There's one you leave behind 

TOM: That you always worry 'bout a ton 

BILLY/TOM: My brother's always been that one 

BILLY: Dear Tom, we're livin' in fear now 

TOM: These folks don't feel safe here 

BILLY: I'm hit all the time though I still pray 

TOM: There ain't any hope here 

BILLY: And life - is just pain and tears now 

TOM: The people here hurt too 

BILLY: I cry all the time cuz you're away 

TOM: They cry for their sons, the ones about your age 

BILLY: Classmates' words cut like a knife 

TOM: Boys here hope to have a life 

BILLY: All their hate makes me so mad 

TOM: Don't you see... 

We got much more to do, my Little Bro Billy 

Now get along home and wait for me 

BILLY/TOM: There's one that you know 

TOM: That you try to change the whole world for 

BILLY/TOM: There's one who will show 

BILLY: The way back home when life has made you run 

BILLY/TOM: My brother's always been that one 

BILLY: 

Dear Tom, It's your Little Bro Billy 

Just wrote to say thanks, I'm heading home
