To You From Me—Dee Carstensen

 

You and me, between us

We covered it all

The world was no bigger than we could handle

Sisters, thicker, than royal blue blood

I thought I’d lost you

You got married and moved out

With your new set of dishes

And your brand new job

 

But I was wrong

‘cuz you brought me back a baby to play with

It didn’t work out with his dad

You and me, thicker, than our first loves

 

But that was years and years and years ago

That was years and years and now I’ve said something

And you’re gone

 

Doesn’t that just hurt you so?

Doesn’t that just break your heart?

When you think you’ve lost someone

Who helped you get your start

Doesn’t that just hold you up?

That I can’t call you anymore

We can’t be like this

We can’t be like this

 

You and me, between us we hid all my scars

We pieced together a passable me

Sisters, thicker, than one horrid night

When you thought you’d lost me

In a pool of pills and couple hundred bottles of booze

In a bent towards romantic death

 

But that was years and years and years ago

That was years and years and now you’ve hurt me

And I’m here

Doesn’t that just take you down?

Doesn’t that just break your heart?

When you think you’ve lost someone who helped you get your start

Doesn’t that just hold you up?

That I can’t call you anymore

We can’t be like this….

We can’t be like this anymore.
