staying sweet

lyrics

fast forward five years from now i'm visiting my sister proud she tells me all the things she's done encouraging what i may still become but somehow all that talk is spit success is what you make of it "i've gathered all my ducks in line i was alone but now i'm doing fine," she lies.

it's no surprise when you're finding what your life is for somehow you're still needing more but who am i without these things we'd never learn this is what i said to her isn't this what you wanted didn't it feel like you got it i'm the one that's telling you it's here maybe this is just some phase you're going through you'll see it in a different way my dear.

growing up i let it be now in new york at twenty three i moved here with my truest love and realize what dreams are really of but when things get good i'm scared to feel it's hard to tell what's rum from real so i stay sweet like everyday but even sweet goes sour with the love it made it strayed.

but that's okay if there is one thing i'll never know it's how to make your loving show it was your loss too if you finally discern the rue this is what i'll say to you isn't this what you wanted didn't it feel like you got it i'm the one who's left with nothing here maybe this was just some phase you're going through i knew i'd lose you anyway my dear.

birthdays mess you up so hard remind us how lonely we are but when mom and dad come up to play their visits make this sadness go away but these pictures in my head of you the words we spoke but now it's through the whole is greater than the sum but why then do i feel so fucking numb?

what have i done? left behind all that i knew to discover what's inside of you look what i've become time's never been a friend to me and parents have no sympathy
