Karaoke Night
On the way home from the karaoke night
We had to park our bikes
To give me room to cry
It had been too long since I had broken down
When I landed back in town
I couldn't stop the words from pouring out
You bought four beers from the 7-Eleven guy
I couldn't look him in the eye
I felt bad that it was you that got trapped
In my worried mind
I thought back to the thing you told me
When you saw me that one time
On the bench I felt embarrassed
For every person that walked by
At our birthday before the family had arrived
You trapped me in a fight
I closed and hid a lid of fear inside
as you sent me outside
I was so scared of you
I couldn't ask for the keys to your bike
So I walked to the supermarket
You screamed with all your might
When I brought back the snacks
You told me you didn't want to be alive
I shouldn't be surprised
to find you lifeless hanging overnight
I looked my sister in the eyes
I squeezed her arm a little tight
I forced her not to say a word
And commanded my best advice
We will never speak of this again
We will never speak another word of this again
But it's okay
It's not that bad and I can't change the past
My sister was the mother that I never thought I had
We will never speak of this again
We will never speak another word of this again
We will never speak of this again
We will never speak another word of this again
By the time my eyes were dry and beers were up
The sun was coming up
