You stood there in the doorway, I stood in the rain Two old names in the distance, trying to sound the same Years like hard gravel, rolled under our skin You wore the blame like a coat, I wore mine within I said: Look at us now, you said: Look at us still Two fists full of silence, two hearts hard to kill Every scar was a story, every stare was a stone We grew into strangers in a house made of bone And I could hear the hurt in your breath Could hear my own in the chest No one wins when pride gets fed No one leaves with more than less Face to face, face to face We learned the shape of grace Face to face, face to face Brother, don't let this break I was wrong, you were wrong We were both too stubborn, too long Face to face, face to face Brother, let it go, let it go You laughed at my jacket, I laughed at your ring Funny how a small thing can open everything Then you mentioned Mom's porch, and the summer we fell Bare knees, split peaches, and the old front bell I saw you at twelve, with your teeth all shy Saw me at fourteen, trying way too hard to lie We were built from the same dust, same blood, same sound Just two hard-headed echoes on the same ground And I could hear the shame in your tone Could hear my own coming home What we buried never stays dead It just waits in the bed we made Face to face, face to face We learned the shape of grace Face to face, face to face Brother, don't let this break I was wrong, you were wrong We were both too stubborn, too long Face to face, face to face Brother, let it go, let it go You said: I missed you more than I knew I said: I kept that weight for two The truth came rough, came raw, came clear Like a door kicked open after years No more nights with the words locked tight No more living on the edge of the fight If love is a road, we were miles off track But I'm here now, and I want you back Face to face, face to face We learned the shape of grace Face to face, face to face Brother, don't let this break I was wrong, you were wrong We were both too stubborn, too long Face to face, face to face Brother, let it go, let it go Brother, let it go Brother, let it go
