When we were little girls We sang as though Our voices joined as One. We sang in a chior Young voices of angels The voices in which Innosence was centered We joined to sing as One.
Now years later We sit at a bar They call us The Sisters Because we're always together We share all things We share what we have Because all we ever had Was each other.
A song comes on And our voices join As One once more. The guys smile Oh, it's the Sisters We sound somewhat different now More mature, more brushed off. Less like angels More like rivals.
I had a wish years ago That we'd one day stop Competing for everything and anything. Who's the most talented Who's most accomplished Who has the highest degree And the best job. Who makes the most money And who is prettiest.
It was all under control Until I heard the words Escape from your lips... I'm sleeping with the guy you like Air escaped my lungs You cried out your shame And I blessed you in silence. I can't shut you out Because I still love you.
I wish you had stopped competing I could never get even with you. Not because I can't win But because you can't win from me. I'd break you in pieces and you know it. You stayed up all night Howling out the pain You never knew lived within you.
And I wish I had said something about it to you before *Now look at us
No one can break your heart, like your own flesh and blood.
