You Meant More Than You Knew

You ran ahead, like you always do

A flash of blue - I could never catch you

But I never wanted your speed or your flame

I just wanted you to know my name

We were never the same - I was quiet, you were loud

You laughed with the wind, I hid from the crowd

But somehow you reached me, without even trying

When I was breaking, you kept me from dying

You meant more than you knew

In the silence, I followed you

You lit a fire in my frozen chest

Even when I thought I was less

I didn't say it, I couldn't show

But you were the reason I chose to grow

Not for glory - not for view

Just to stand beside you

You meant more than you knew

I know I don't always say it out loud

I hide in the silence, away from the crowd

But if there's one truth I can't deny

You're my brother

The reason I survived

If I vanish, if I fade from view

Remember this, Sonic

You're my brother

And you meant more than you knew
