TEST OF TIME

[CAROLINE]
I still remember
Growing up brother and sister
We swore that we'd always be there for each other
We didn't know yet
That promises have consequences
Even when you're just a child
After our mother's tragic death
Everything changed
And it shattered a part of our bound
and what I thought was unbreakable

Wish I
Could've have swallowed my pride
and talked to you about the pain
But now I have to live with the guilt
I saw that you've gotten married
In pictures and letters, you look really happy without me

And I know
I've never done that well with showing you my pain
And there's no point of trying to place blame
I just hated that we couldn't survive the
Test of time

First year in school
History class, you made me laugh
And instantly I realized you'll always be here
We'd sit alone for hours
And talk about the magic lessons
And how the world is changing
They way it do when you're young

But life's not fairytale
And he picked me back up
When my soul hurt the most
I even caught him when he broke down
And slowly we've drifted apart

My brother and his wife had four children
And I haven't heard from him lately
But I hope he knows how much I miss
him and that I'm sorry

And I know
I've never done that well with showing you my pain
And there's no point of trying to place blame
I just hated that we couldn't survive the
Test of time

You don't get closure
You blink and it's over
And you never see what a good thing you have
'Til it's gone
I never saw what a good thing we had
'Til it's gone

And I know
I've never done that well with showing you my pain
And there's no point of trying to place blame
I just hated that we couldn't survive the
Test of time
