I wonder if anyone will ever
Tell you how to say “no” when
A boy asks for your heart.
Will they teach you how to let go
When that’s the thing you want to do
The least yet helps the most?
Did they ever tell you it’s okay to cry?
The real meaning of “I love you?”
Will you grow up and be serious, blocking
Out the sun and it’s smile?
Will you refuse to be my sun, refuse to smile?
Will you grow up at all?
Will your life go down the same road as mine,
A waste of years in treatment,
Buckets of money down the drain,
Just to realize you knew everything all along?
Will you choose those few bad things I didn’t?
Will you forget me, your older sister, and
How much I love you?
Will your remember only my mistakes?
How can they teach you what I refused to learn?
