but the words we already spoke
told me all I need to know
Dismissed and abandoned
no longer feeling loved
even though we grew up together
You were my hero I worshipped you
and now here am without you
You were the one I look up to
And now it's just you looking down
You sent me a card without signing it
but the note inside the card
told me all I need to know
No longer worth looking out for
no longer feeling I belong
even though we shared a home together
I was your biggest fan I adored you
now there you are without me
I was the one who needed you
But it seems you're just fine without me
Help me understand
Please answer the question
I thought I was doing okay
What did I do
and whom have I become
That makes me unloveable today?
You sent me song without a tune
but the song was the same
as any other you sang
Neglected and confused
no longer feeling human
even though we shared a heart together
When I was your brother I loved you
but now that I'm your sister you don't love me
I was a son, a father, a nephew
but it seems that you no longer see me as me
I thought we'd be together forever
Instead of a bond
you celebrate the divide
Downcast and alone
no longer feeling at home
even though we shared a life together
You were my family I needed you
but not now the way I am today.
I was your friend, from then until the end
It wasn't I but you who chose to walk away.
I find my strength
in the person I've become
even though you're no longer beside me
And even set apart
I'm no longer alone
I keep company with the companion inside me
