Everyone at school thought we were sisters

Dressed the same, talked the same, together all the time

You could find me in your family pictures

Next to you, in the frame, but you moved on and I'm replaced


We grew up together. I spent every summer with your family. We had yearly traditions; camping, week-long sleepovers, boating, the zoo. We had family pictures, even though we were cousins. Your closest friends genuinely thought we were sisters. We even lived together for a time, when I had nowhere else to go at nine years old. We shared a room and secrets. We called each other our sister. You were truly my older sister, in every sense of the word. You defended me when my biological mother treated me poorly. You were happy when I got momma. I could rely on you and you could rely on me. You changed when he came along.

 

I only want you to be happy but I

Never thought it'd be without me

Ooh, ooh, now you don't know me at all

You left without warning

Always thought that it'd be love

That was gonna mess me up

Didn't think it'd hurt this much

When best friends break up


I thought that even when everyone else left me I would always have you sissy. I was happy that you were happy. You left when I needed you most. When I was losing everything. I thought that if I just didn’t let anyone else in, I would be fine. I knew I couldn’t find love that way but learned that love always hurts. But it hurt me the most when you left. You and the baby niece that I never got to meet in person.


You don't even seem upset about it

Guess I'm the one who lost the things you had all the time

You seem like you're cool though without it

Cause you put me through hell

Just to have someone else


Do you even care that you left me behind when you took off with him? Someone that now, I can only resent for taking away my sister. I was so happy to have my niece and wanted to see you both. I defended you against anyone that said even the slightest bit negative about you. I did that because that is what siblings do for each other. They defend each other even when the other is not there and they don’t allow for the name of their sibling to be tarnished. I had just lost 2 of my brothers and you left me too. 


I hope he always makes you happy

But why did it have to be without me?

Ooh, ooh, now you don't know me at all

You left without warning

Always thought that it'd be love

That was gonna mess me up

Didn't think it'd hurt this much when best friends break up


I wish the best for you but why did you have to go away with him. We were a happy family before him and could be a happy family after him too. I love my sister and my baby niece and hate the man who took them away from me. I will never get what we had back and it seems like that doesn’t matter to you. 


Break up

I just always thought that it'd be love

That was gonna mess me up

Didn't think it'd hurt this much when best friends break up

Ooh, ooh, now you don't know me at all

You left with no warning

Always thought that it'd be love

That was gonna mess me up

Didn't think it'd hurt this much

When best friends break up


I thought that if I ever fell in love that it would be the last straw for me, but it was really my sister leaving me. Who do I have  if everyone keeps leaving. Who is it going to be next? How can I ever trust if everyone just leaves me in the end?
