Sister said to say something profound About keeping your perspective And your feet on the ground Show them you've got nothing to fear Your future is in order And your vision is clear A million miles away Sister said to pretend I'm strong Keep it all together and pretend nothing's wrong Mother needed me to be still Trying to keep her sanity and take all her pills But I'm not and I'm lonely And I'm lost and you're only Just a million miles away I can't but I want to And she's gone so I need you And there's nothing you can say I won't but I have to And I just want to kiss you Just to make it go away A million miles away Sister said to say something profound About keeping your perspective And your feet on the ground But I've got nothing brilliant to say We all die alone 'Cause d**h's just that way
