By some twist of fate
Your old bedroom is now mine.
It's been completely redone though.
All the holes from the nails
That held up your favorite posters
Are puttied up and painted over.
The carpet I accidentally melted a hole in
When I was trying to burn away
The memories of our painful past
Has long since been pulled up
And replaced with hardwood flooring.
I've filled the space with furniture
And put my touch on every square inch.
I've done my best to erase you,
But sometimes at night as I'm falling asleep,
I hear your laughter and see your smile.
And I wish with all my heart on that shooting star
The Fates would've given me
Just a little more time with my favorite sister.
