Golden Boy

[Verse 1]
I must've fell too far from the family tree
Did you know before I knew who I'd be?
He hung the moon in your sky long before I's born
He was the apple of your eye and I was just a thorn

[Chorus]
He's everything you ever wanted, everything I couldn't be
Handing him your name is more than you ever gave to me
So you can tell me that you love me, but I can hear it in your voice
I'll never shine as bright as your golden boy

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I see you in the mirror, though I haven't seen you in years
Would you recognize the man I love, or is it something you still fear?
So I stand in my brother's shadow and you can just pretend
That you love me like you love him when we both know in the end

[Chorus]
He's everything you ever wanted, everything I couldn't be
Handing him your name is more than you ever gave to me
So you can tell me that you love me, but I can hear it in your voice
I'll never shine as bright as your golden boy

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
I've got everything I've ever wanted, yeah, I'm who I's made to be
Stopped watering your name and planted me a brand new family tree
So I can love you from a distance and still protect my joy
And be my own kind of golden boy
