you know she really loved you

she really looked up to you

she really loved you

i think she loved you a little too much

and idolized you

she wouldn't let you make a mistake

and that was her fault

but you know your "tough love" wasn't really tough love

you wanted her to learn, but you stopped caring

you couldn't bring yourself to apologize, too

you couldn't be the bigger person

instead you hit her where she was most vulnerable

and she retaliated

she hit you back

i don't know which one of you hit each other first

i knew you two fought

i knew you two had differences

because you two are just alike

(you both hate me saying that)

she didn't want you to boss her around

she just wanted you to boost her ego

that's her fault

but you didn't want to boost her ego

you just wanted to boss her around

that's your fault

you wanted her to learn from your mistakes

and she refuses to learn

but you gave up

and she gave up

and that's both your faults

and now look at you two

you ignore the situation

and you don't care that much about any of us anymore

(your "sis" told me you barely talk to her

i think that makes me kinda mad

because she deserves our love more than anyone)

you think that blocking her from ever contacting you

wipes the slate and fixes the situation

but you can't just cover up the thorn that's in your side

and she still 'hates' you

because she still loves you

it bothers her

how you're "happy"

while she's not

and she misses you

she wants to be your friend

but she's scared and she's stubborn

and i don't even know how you feel anymore

because you don't feel anymore

for any of us

(did i already say that?)

i can't help you two

i can try to make sure she learns from this

and i can try to make her understand her anger

isn't the best for her

and i can smile and pretend that everything with you

is alright

even though my smile is fake because it's not alright

but i can't make you two move on

because both are you are just alike

and you refuse to swallow your pride and egos

and forgive each other

how hard is it to say "hello, i'm sorry"?

which one of you will make the first move?

are either one of you brave enough to do it?
