when we were growing up
i said a lot of things that i didn't mean
i tried to make you tough
but instead i left you crying and lonely
with the heart that's beating
inside of you
it's too good to be true
you're more beautiful than anything i've seen
hey little brother
i was cruel and mean to you
but hey little brother
i need to say i love you
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know that
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know that
when we were little
i did a lot of things
that i regret now
i was your hero
i always found a way to hurt you somehow
but the man you've grown up
and you have become
since you were young
(i'm blown away)
you're more beautiful
than anything i've seen
hey little brother
i was cruel and mean to you
but hey little brother
i need to say i love you
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know that
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know that
yeah
whoa
whoa
yeah
and the tables have turned now
i'm wishing i could be like you
hey little brother
i just want you to know
i'm so proud
i'm so proud of you
so hey little brother
i was cruel and mean to you
but hey little brother
i need to say i love you
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know that
i just want you to know that
want you to know that
want you to know
