I wish I knew just what to say
To bring you back
To erase the hurt
And pain you've caused
Not just to me,
But to our family
Can't you see what you're doing?
What you've done?
It's not all about you
It's never been all about you
Sacrifice
A word you've never learned
It's interesting to think
That of all of us kids,
You were the first to fall
I may have made my mistakes
(Which I readily admit)
But of everything I've done
It's always been small stuff
Easy to recover from
But you're running into a wall
Head first and without thought
Begging for attention
And I don't understand
Are you trying to make them hate you?
Are you trying to break all ties?
You've been like my sister
And best friend all in one
We've told each other everything
So why couldn't you tell me
That you intended on destroying everything?
Breaking their trust
To the point that they had to kick you out
Out of sight, out of mind
When will I see you again?
When will you stop?
I realize she makes you happy
But is it worth it?
You're obsessed!
What do you have to prove?
We've accepted her and you
Yet you keep it up like there's something left to say
I don't know what to do anymore
I've tried to defend you
Get in your head, and tell them what you're thinking
But even I don't know anymore
This is all way beyond me
And I never thought you were capable of it
Of turning on your family
On me, of all people
I never turned my back on you
Never, not once
So I wish you knew
I'm worried for you
You're burning bridges
You may never get back
You have nothing left to lose
Except her
So what happens when she leaves?
What happens if she turns her back on you someday
And you have no one left to turn to?
I hope you know that I will always be here
I can never just sit back and watch you fall
Despite you walking away from me
I will still be here with open arms
Waiting to catch you
So please,
I beg you,
Watch your step
No more reckless wanderings
No more abandonment
No more pushing away the people that love you
No more being stupid
Open your eyes,
Please,
And come back to me
Come back to us
And set the example for your siblings
That you should have been setting all along
The right thing to do
The smart thing to do
Your name should never be able to be used as an insult!
And yet here we are
Please
For my sake
For your sister's sake
Open your eyes
And see what you've done!
