Brotherhood of the Broken
Marlon Roudette Lyrics

If not me then someone else
If someone else did not experience the same pain that I did, then they would not understand.

Who will feel the pain I felt
Who else will understand the pain that I felt?

I may be an old face from a photograph
I may be an old memory from the past.

You may look at me and laugh
You may find my memories amusing.

Till it's your turn to sing the blues
Until you experience the pain that I felt.

Knowing what you had to lose
Understanding the loss you'll have to bear.

I may be an old fool from her former life
I may be an old memory from someone's past life.

Till you find out what it's like
Until you experience the same memory yourself.

She'll make you feel like you're the center
She'll try to make you believe that you're important.

Of a place without a trace
In a place with no traces of any other memories.

Of any man who's gone before
Of any other person who has experienced the same memory as you.

Join us now
Join the group of people who have experienced similar memories as you.

The brotherhood of the broken
The group of people who have experienced broken memories.

And we'll be proud to welcome one of ours
We'll be happy to welcome someone who has experienced the same memory.

Join our chain
Become a part of the group.

Where all the links are broken
Where everyone has experienced a broken memory.

I didn't know her that well
I never really knew her.

And if not you then someone else
If not you, then someone else will experience the same memory.

Who will fall for her and melt
Who will fall in love with her and become vulnerable?

And you'll be an old foe that she left for him
You'll be an old enemy that she has left for someone else.

Occasionally mentioned
Mentioned sporadically.

Till it's his turn and he'll relate
Until he experiences the same memory and can relate to it.

To what it's like to be replaced
To what it feels like to be replaced by someone else.

You may be an old flame
You may be an old memory of someone's past love.

From her former days.
From her past.

Till he finds himself erased
Until he realizes that he has been replaced.

He may find her in a corner
He may find her alone and vulnerable.

And provide for her a shoulder
And be there for her when she needs someone.

As she cries her tales of you
As she talks about the memories she shared with you.

He doesn't know he's just a ladder
He doesn't realize that he's just a temporary replacement.

For her to climb up to the rooftops
For her to move on to someone better.

Where she'll find a better view
Where she'll find someone better.

You may hold her in the winter
You may share memories with her in the winter.

And feel like you're the only man
And feel like you're the only one who loves her.

Who's ever loved her before
Who's ever cared for her as much as you do.

You didn't know her that well
You didn't really know her.

We did not know her that well
None of us truly knew her.

We did not know her that well
None of us truly knew her.
