This isn't about love like romance
This is about love like a brother
A brother that could have—
Scratch that
Should have
Been there

Your smile as we
Played stupid games
In my room

Face masks, tiaras, rap music
Laughter, jokes, friendship
You, me, us

I thought we were your world
Because you were ours
But I thought wrong

You lied
For months
About who you were

You lied to us for
months about
Who we were

Because we thought you were truthful
And caring
And ours

But we weren't real to you
And we were just toys
There for your beck and call

If you need a friend
we were there
If we needed a friend
no one came

You had someone else
And it broke our hearts
Because you were our world

But she didn't know our names, did she
They aren't hard to forget
You know, 'girlfriend' and 'sisters'
Should ring a bell

But her name was girlfriend too
And they were sisters
So i guess you were just confused

That's always your excuse
Confused
Confused
Confused

But you weren't confused when you dropped us
And when you said we meant nothing
And when you crushed our world

Like Aislynn's mike & Ike
You crushed us
And swallowed the rest

Like Kara's gummy worms
You treated us like the dirt
You left us in

Like Gianna's heart
That is destroyed with every
Boy she meets

Like me
When my brother didn't
Give a single shit about me

I thought we were friends
Best friends
Siblings

That what you said, right?
No boys until I'm 30
Because I'm your little sister and you'll protect me

That's what you said, right?
Stay close to you
It's dark and we aren't supposed to be out

That's what you said, right?
If you're scared hold my hand
That's what friends are for, Cazzy

That's what you said, right?
