The Borders

The Borders - Sam Fender

Lyrics by：Sam Fender

Composed by：Sam Fender

We were like brothers

Everybody said we looked the same

You're a little taller and broader and bolder

We were afraid of your mother

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

Eight years old with a replica gun pushin' in my skull

Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell

Never did and I never will

That house was living hell

Come on

I remember my mother when she found a new man

And your mother thought 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

Oh your gone mother repaired the anger in me

Spoke to me like I was an adult

Didn't take sides 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 boys are after you

You pinned me to the wall and said my mother

Stole your inheritance from you oh yeah

We ain't got a penny between wuh

Holding up this tin that we live in

You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle

Your eyes the door to hell and all within

Ha
