You were the only one of us with no addiction gene
We were never really friends, I was turning 18
One day you wake up and realize they're not funny,
they're mean
And it changed things
You were running up on sunset,
selling your drugs We were laughing in the kitchen,
pissing
mom off I was lying over nothing,
you were honest
You were fault and it changed things I don't wanna talk
for you
We've lived enough for the two of us Oh,
but when I talk
to you
I can't help thinking about how good it was
Mom knew it would happen before it did And
she warned us once we weren't listening
The mantel came down and we ran down the street
When I left there in August and it changed
things I don't wanna talk
for you
You've heard enough for the two of us
When I talk to you
I had just your sleeping bags and you choking up
I have this dream where I am back at the old house
And I am running upstairs and I am getting you out
You're 10 years old and I put you on my back with a birthday bag
You're saving up your money to see me now
Now I hid it well,
she found me out
You were going through my dressers and screaming at me
I started laughing at you And then
I don't get to talk for you
You've said enough for the two of us Oh,
but when I talk
to you
You stand on all the things that I forgot
Cold street,
cold lawn,
cold door
open
I found you, I found you
Upstairs just laughing,
warm room,
cold lawn
You talk,
I draw,
I'm not
doing
well
You know
you help
I have this dream where I am back at the old house
And I am running upstairs and I am getting you out
You're 10 years old and I put you on my back with a birthday bag
I feel it when I'm talking and you punch my arm
But I'm never gonna make it past the Braddocks lawn
I don't know where I'm going
But I know that I
think it might, it might
change things
