Sisterhood

I tried my best to hate you

Burn the pictures, I'd erase you if I could

But I still find you in the mirror

Tangled through my cells with craft glue

Scrapbook stickers

Family heirlooms

How could I extinguish an extension of myself?

We're burning a bridge that's attached to our limbs

If we're going down

We're going down together

We still talk all the time (did you know that?)

We still wear matching perfumes (but I know that you know that)

You'll paint my nails if I curl your hair

We fight like dogs

We cry in mirrors

I forgive and you forget

But not this time

Is this still sisterhood after we say goodbye?

Your mom sitting in my kitchen

Elbow scrapes and lost tradition

They say, "You can't choose your family"

Guess that's true

'Cause now I'm dreading both our birthdays

Wonder if I'll know your kids names from you

Or if I'll hear it through the grapevine

Watered down bloodlines

Fake a smile

Drink the wine

Sitting feet apart, pretending that we're strangers

We still talk all the time (did you know that?)

We still wear matching perfumes (but I know that you know that)

You'll paint my nails if I curl your hair

We fight like dogs

We cry in mirrors

I forgive and you forget

But not this time

Is this still sisterhood after we say-

Sisterhood after we say-

Do you ever cry 'cause you can't call me?

I'm still here even if you don't want me

Do you ever cry 'cause you can't call me?

I'll be here even if you don't want me
