It was I who dealt our hand Not fate, as you would have it You didn’t fix me in this chair I sit resigned to sulk and stare Sister, sister, won’t you listen? Close your eyes with open ears Please let go of these falsified fears All this time and it was I, Please now, listen, don’t you cry, I was driving on that night, Foot on gas and headlights bright, I slammed into the metal gate It was you who quickly ran away Pinned for crime as I’d pinned my legs Sister, darling, I’ve held regret But now I’ve spoken, breathing yet Our sorrows drowned in the ocean waves You smile and dance as my story ends, asking “All this time, we could have been friends?”
