SIDELINES

how much more do you have to take?

isn't it enough everything i gave?

isn't it enough i was always to blame?

isn't it enough they never treated us the same?

why is it so hard to admit

you were always loved more than me?

you were always seen differently

but no one ever listens to me

you're the only one they believe

and i should be used to it

my feelings never really matter

your side of the story's always better

i'm sick of living in your shadow

i was only five years old

and they were treating me like an adult

my world ended the day you were born

i wasn't important anymore

i wasn't special like before

i was tossed aside and left alone

to deal with everything on my own

i was never seen as young

i was expected to act grown

i was rejected at school and at home

while you were loved by everyone

and now that we've grown up

this hasn't changed at all

and you resent me for my trauma

as if it was my fault

you get angry like it's drama

and i'm in the wrong

oh, it's so unfar to you

i'm so sorry to hurt your ego

and how dare i feel bad

when you take everything i have?

how dare i feel sad?

whenever i think there's nothing left

you find a way to take more

and everyone walks out the door

'cause you will always be more loved

i was a kid when i found out

you're what the universe revolves around

its laws break and bend at your will

and i don't have the right to feel

but all i have is yours to steal

and all the people in our lives

they orbit you like satellites

as i live and die

left on the sidelines.
