i don't know how to be angry
for i'm grieving something i never lost, but never had
i'm collecting dust
you clean me when you need me, then put me back on the shelf
you placed me next to your books
and knick-knacks you got on family trips
you placed me next to your books
but it's my fault because i chose to stay
i never had the luxury of a big sister
i just had to fill the role
it's exhausting feeling overworked and undermined
homesick for a cruel dream
pushing myself for ultimatums
homesick for a cruel dream
and now i'm the only one who can agree
so don't blame me

i wake up and see three missed calls
my brain is already assuming the worst
my stomach is in my throat, acid's sitting on my tongue
the burn isn't as hot as the water from when i shook you awake in the bathtub
i don't know how i can help you
i've already offered my shoulder
do you need twenty dollars?
there is only so much of me i can give
i know i should be concerned when you don't text or say you're not cold
your frame looks so small in my sweater
smoke as many blue cartons as you wish
to me, you look like a toddler throwing a tantrum
i don't know what else to tell you
what friend is going to save you now?
your body looks so tired
come into bed, lie under the dirty sheets
and i'll keep you safe x4
i can't keep you safe x4
