Lyrics

They printed out your story
In black and white that day
Every line felt permanent
Like nothing could be changed
I read every single line
Looking for some trace of me
Like maybe if I searched enough
I'd find the sister I used to be
But grief is hard enough
Without wondering why
The people who should hold you close
Won't even meet your eyes
Your obituary says
Who you were for all to read
Lists the ones who loved you most
But somehow left out me
And I don't know why they're angry
I don't know what I've done
But losing you was hard enough
Without losing everyone
So I'll carry what remains
Since no one else seems to
They took my chance to say goodbye
But they can't erase the truth
Dad won't pick up when I call
And I don't know what changed
One day I was family
The next day I was erased
Maybe there's a reason
Or Maybe there isn't one
But silence leaves a thousand wounds
Where one truth would've done
And every night I replay
Every word and every year
Trying to find the moment
That made me disappear
Your obituary says
Who you were for all to read
Lists the ones who loved you most
But somehow left out me
And I don't know why they're angry
I don't know what I've done
But losing you was hard enough
Without losing everyone
So I'll carry what remains
Since no one else seems to
They took my chance to say goodbye
But they can't erase the truth
I know a piece of paper
Can't rewrite our lives
Can't erase the years we shared
Or tell me what was right
You knew every secret
Every scar and every flaw
No obituary could ever know
The bond we really saw
They're allowed to forget me
But they'll never take you away
You're written in my memories
No obituary can change
And they can close every door
And leave me wondering why
But they can't take the love we had
No matter how they try
No obituary can change
The truth I carry through
You'll always be a part of me
And I'll always be a part of you
