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?
