Sting of a Sister’s Lie

Verse

We had a code, or so I thought

In every battle that we fought

I held your secrets like they were mine

While you were crossing every line

I looked you in the eye today

And watched the truth just slip away.

Chorus

Oh, the sting of a sister’s lie

Is a different kind of "goodbye"

I can’t find the "us" in what you said

Just the echoes of the traps you spread

You saved your skin, but lost the light

Now there’s a ghost in the room tonight.

Verse

Was it worth the silence you kept?

While I believed the story you stepped?

I would have stood between you and the rain

But now I’m just standing in the pain

Of knowing you didn't trust me enough

To be real when the road got rough.

Bridge

I’m not even mad at the "what" or the "why"

It’s the way you looked me dead in the eye

And didn’t blink, and didn’t care

To see the bridge you were burning there.
