Sister
Neighbor Lady Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What did you expect of this
Oh my sister
Oh my friend
You have left me once again
But I don't blame you for it
It's your need for it all
The fierceness of the cold
Its the way that you could think that it was easy
Not at all
Try and hide your misery
In a crowd of company
But I see you falling apart
Held together by a plastic card
Say it's me you won't forgive
Say you've nothing left to live for
Say I stabbed you in the back
Oh but you don't believe it's that
Because you stabbed me in the heart
And that was the hardest part
And baby you know I ain't ever giving up on this

Because I need you and
I want to be there for you when you need me too
Just forget this and
Just give it up
Even though it's not what we both want
Because I know you and I'm here til the end
You're my sister, you're my friend
Because I need you and
I want to be there for you when you need me too
Just forget this and
Just give it up
Even though it's not what we both want




Because I know you and I'm here til the end
You're my sister, you're my friend
