If not me then someone else
Who will feel the pain I felt
I may be an old face from a photograph
You may look at me and laugh
Till it ' s your turn to sing the blues
Knowing what you had to lose
I may be an old fool from her former life
Till you find out what it ' s like
She ' ll make you feel like you ' re the centre
Of a place without trace
Of any man who ' s gone before
Join us now
The brotherhood of the broken
An we ' ll be proud to welcome one of ours
Join our chain
Where all the links are broken
I didn ' t know her that well
I did not know her that well
And if not you then someone else
Who will fall like you and meld
And you ' ll be an old foe that she left for him
Occasionally mentioned
Till it ' s his turn an he ' ll relate
To what it ' s like to be replaced
You may be an old fool
From her former days
Till he finds himself erased
He may find her in a corner
And provide for her a shoulder
As she cries her tales of you
He doesn ' t know he ' s just a ladder
For her to climb up to the rooftops
Where she ' ll find a better view
And he ' ll join us now
The brotherhood of the broken
An we ' ll be proud to welcome one of ours
Join our chain
Where all the links are broken
He did not know her that well
You did not know her that well
I did not know her that well
We did not know her that well
You may hold her in the winter
And feel like your the only man
Who ' s ever loved her before
So Join us now
The brotherhood of the broken
An we ' ll be proud to welcome one of ours
Join our chain
Where all the links are broken
I didn ' t know her that well
I did not know her that well
