Like Sisters

Some people say that we look like sisters
 Somehow, something in the eyes
 And I'd say, "Well, you know I'm flattered"
 And she'd say, "Yeah, right!"
 She's always been so careful
 Nobody more faithful
 I've always been so careful
 Nobody more faithful
 When she moved out, sometimes he'd call me
 I never should have answered
 Sometimes you give, you're giving all you have
 And sometimes you're the taker
 Like the whole world went and slipped my way
 And yet I didn't want nothing
 So unequal. Like unearned praise
 Like someone I don't recognize
 Was looking back from my own eyes
 We'd sit, and we'd find ourselves talking for hours
 And sometimes she would cry
 Waving her hands as though to ward off something
 Telling you she's fine
 Sometimes you have to decide
 What is wrong and what could be right
 But I was too "kind"
 I was on every side
 As though to try to make amends
 For all the distances
 There have always been between
 You and I
 Me and the sky
