​north carolina

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought big brothers were supposed to protect me
So why does it feel like mine are trynna forget me?
If my whole family thinks that I'm just a deadbeat
The shoes that I was tryna fill would be empty
And Nick I promise I won't ever forget you
I know you hate me so I'm just gonna let you
It's crazy after all things that we went through
I still wish something I could do to impress you

[Chorus]
And I just wish we can find some sort of middle ground
I guess your little brother isn't so little now
You have your family I'm the one who that got singled out
'Cause we get older, things aren't so simple now
Last time we talked was from before I turned seventeen
Now I'm out in California, I'm twenty-three
I miss my brother and my dad, I miss everything
You missed everything

[Verse]
But Life goes on
I know you'll hear this song
North Carolina, don't seem so far away
It's just been way too long
I know it's not your fault
I needed someone
You all just walked away

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought big brothers were supposed to protect me
So why does it feel like mine are trynna forget me?
If my whole family thinks just I'm a deadbeat
The shoes that I was trynna fill would be empty
And Nick I promise I won't ever forget you
I know you hate me so I'm just gonna let you
It's crazy after all things that we went through
I still wish something I could do to impress you

[Chorus]
And I just wish we can find some sort of middle ground
I guess your little brother isn't so little now
You have your family I'm the one who that got singled out
'Cause we get older, things aren't so simple now
Last time we talked was from before I turned seventeen
Now I'm out in California, I'm twenty-three
I miss my brother and my dad, I miss everything
You missed everything
