The brother is confused in his feelings and about how he can take care of his family without his mother and father and with the presence of such loneliness in his life.
lyrics
You shine bright, brighter than the star I chose for you that night.
I watched you make me see that everything you want from me i more than I can be, but I'll try.
You've made it so far without and now I can't seem to make it, I don't know why I won't let this go and will you please just let me show you why I confuse you the way I do, I know you'll never make it through but that's okay, I'll just bottle it up.
You're on top of the world, and I won't bring you down because I'm not you.
I'm on top of the world, and nothing can bring me down because I don't want too.
You are the light, you're brighter than the star I chose that night, you are the light.
You are the light, it makes me wish I could never close my eyes.
Well why am I so afraid?
You've made it so far without and now I can't seem to make it, I don't know why I won't let this go and will you please just let me show you why I confuse you the way I do, I know you'll never make it through but that's okay, I'll just bottle it up.
I'm on top of the world, and you won't bring me down because you're not me.
