Sam Fender - The Borders

we were like brothers
everybody said we looked the same
you’re a little taller
and broader, and bloder
we were afraid of your morher
hell, she used to hit you so hard
and your dad took off when you were a baby
and you still hate me for my dad stuck around
you pin me to the ground
8 years old whit a replica gun pushin’ in my skull
saying you’re gonna kill me if I tell
never did and never will
that house was living hell

I remember my mother when she found a new man
and your mother though she found a partner
a father for you
no wonder
you can’t stand me
I can’t stand me, too
I can’t stand me, too
your gone mother repaired the anger nine me
spoke to me like I was an adult
didn’t take side and didn’t turn me against my dad
then she took those pills and now she’s gone
see her in the night
in the corner of my eye
and I see her in the night

heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
some naughty family oys are after you
you pinnefd me to the wall and said my mother
stole your nheritance from you
we ain’t got a penny between wor
holding up this tent that we live in
you pinned me to the wall and snasjhed a bottle
your eyes the door ro hell and all whitin
