Song Description

A song about not knowing how to help a younger sister who suffers from depression

Lyrics

If you thought that you could runaway tomorrow
Wherever would you want to go
If you thought that you could leave behind your sorrow
Would you walk yourself right out the door
Well I don't want to see you fall apart
My head keeps losing ground to my heart

You're in a rather difficult situation
Stranded in that desert isle
I think it's your continuing education
Desperation measured in the miles
Well I don't want to see you start to cry, no
But I've never been too good at telling you lies, lies

Little sister, what's the matter
Do your worries keep you up at night
Little sister, what's the answer
To the questions floating in your mind
Little sister, what's the matter
Do your worries keep you up at night
Little sister, make it better
Cause I know it's gonna be alright

When I sympathize that doesn't mean I'm ashamed
And if I criticize I'm not playing the game
Of laying the blame on you, no

Well I don't want to see you fall apart
My head keeps losing ground to my heart

Little sister, what's the matter
Do your worries keep you up at night
Little sister, make it better
Cause I know it's gonna be alright
Little sister, what's the matter
You know I never want to fight
Little sister, little sister
Well I wish that I could say it right
