You Look Down On Me

[Verse 1]
We grew up close, you felt like my home,
Like a brother, I was never alone.
You always stood guard, you carried my pain,
Like a brother, protective — I still whisper your name.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I saw the signs that day,
Wish I could’ve pulled you back to stay.

[Chorus]
Why did you have to do what you did?
Why’d you pull the trigger instead of talkin’ to me?
Now the only time I hear your voice
Is from the message you left me on my phone, you see.
Cousin, my brother, you look down on me —
I can’t see you, but you can see me.

[Verse 2]
Your kids still talk about where you’ve gone,
They draw your smile when the day is long.
They’ve got your eyes, your gentle way,
And I tell them, “Daddy’s just a prayer away.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I saw the signs that day,
Wish I could’ve helped you find your way.

[Chorus]
Why did you have to do what you did?
Why’d you pull the trigger instead of talkin’ to me?
Now the only time I hear your voice
Is from the message you left me on my phone, you see.
Cousin, my brother, you look down on me —
I can’t see you, but you can see me.

[Bridge]
If I could reach through the clouds somehow,
I’d tell you I forgive you now.
You didn’t have to face that storm alone,
You had a place — you had a home.

[Final Chorus] (soft to powerful build)
Why did you have to do what you did?
Why’d you pull the trigger instead of talkin’ to me?
Now your voice is a ghost in the dark,
But your love still beats inside my heart.
Cousin, my brother, you look down on me —
I can’t see you, but you can see me.

[Outro]
You look down on me…
Like a brother, protective — always will be.
You look down on me.
