it's a crying shame you've got to grow up
got to learn how to take care of yourself
hey little sister
I'd still take care of you
still protect you from the big bad world
but you gave me hell one too many times
if I'm such a bad person
and you're so much better than me
I can't wait to see how you handle
the next catastrophe that comes our way
because you're going to be on your own, little sister
I'm burnt out from trying to protect you
doing nice things for you is like
swimming in a rip tide trying to rescue a diver
the harder you try the more you're pushed out to sea
let me know how you handle things
but don't come running to me for pity
little sister, you're on your own
