Lyrics:

Hey Kyle
You know I love to see you smile
I haven't seen ya in too long
it's been a while

Hey Kyle
I hope your day's been great bro
i can't wait til your home
I don't want to wait no

Hey Kyle
you know mom really misses you
i know one day we'll get to do
all the things we didn't do

It's too soon I think
I'll leave a light on
in case you come home
i'll wait til all my times gone

it can't be real
it can't be real

feel's like a bad dream i can't wake from
I wanna wake up

why'd you have to go so soon
why?
please tell me Kyle
i'll always be your little brother
even when i grow older

34 is too young
and time stopped
im asking
why god

I keep asking
I keep asking

If i could only give you one more hug
just to say goodbye
i'd love it so much
i guess i'll only get it when I die

Why god?

nothing has ever felt so sick and twisted
i'm not sure you get it

that's my older brother
that's my big bro

you never got to have kids
you'll never get to meet mine
it's been so hard since you left
just trying to feel alright

you know i'm holding on for you Kyle
i'm holding on
i'm staying strong
even when it feels wrong

but please tell me why
if things happen for a reason
why is this required?

I feel so sick
i feel so sick and tired

Hey Kyle
I want to thank you so much
for all the lessons and the love
and now the guidance from above

I know that times were getting tough
i know you could've made it through
I know that life can get rough
we don't always know what to do

I wish I could've helped more
i'm sorry
I reached out and tried
now i reach out
and i cry

i'm so sick of asking why
what'll it change?
my stomachs in pain
I don't want to live with this fate

what can i do?

Hey Kyle
ya know i love you so much
and i'm so proud of you
I know you're looking down on me

please guide me toward the right path
cause at times I feel so bad
i know you'd understand
cause you always understood me

with all the depression
and the workplace hate
no dessert tastes great

but we've held on for way too long to break

everyone always loved you
everyone will always love you
and now you'll never be alone
you never had to be alone

just know you're with me in my spirit
please talk I want to hear it

I was so excited for our future together

will the lessons learned make up for time lost?
I keep asking why god?
I keep asking why god?

Hey man. This really touched me. This is your art, and I know your brother is cranking this in heaven. I am sorry for your loss, but I'm grateful to your brother and your family.

[rustyshacklefordposter]

nothing hurts worse than losing a brother, he's proud of you too buddy you've come a long way

[exhibita]

i keep coming back to this for brotherly love

[chaselammers]

This puts me in tears every time Brandon kinda crazy that you can share so much emotion through you’re channel

[ildled]

Came from a random reckless ben video, watched your video on the drama and heard them mention your family member passing. The pain in losing an older brother is unbearable, I recently lost my brother last year to a brutal murder. No one really quite grasps that pain until you live it. The pain of experiencing their mother, father, and other siblings breaking down from receiving such horrible news. The pain of having to scrub blood out of the street of a family member. You never know when your last interaction will be with someone, and I will always live with regret. Please do tell your family you love them no matter how much you've grown apart.

In the chance you see this Brandon, I know they're partying up there. I hope your family is still recovering together.

[Stephen-gogl]

I give my condolences man. Stay strong.

[gelsenkirchen]
