lyrics

How am I meant to trust what you say
It was so easy to turn me away
Some sister you turned out to be
The violet light in my eyes is the only thing left I can see
I see what I meant to you
Now I’ve got nothing to lose
Faced with the danger you turned me loose
I’m not gonna risk it and give you another chance to choose

Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me
Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me

You come to me but you bring the girl
I stand there and ask you and try to discern
Turns out he was right about how you felt
You tossed me aside and decided to switch me with somebody else
I see what I meant to you
Now I’ve got nothing to lose
Faced with the danger you turned me loose
I’m not gonna risk it and give you another chance to choose

Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me
Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me

You said you’d save me from monsters
But who’s gonna save you from me?
I payed an unpayable cost here
I wish you could feel what I feel
Echoes of moments, of faces, of voices
I push them away with a swipe of my hand
I made unchoosable choices
You can’t understand
You said you’d save me from monsters
But who’s gonna save you from me?
I payed an unpayable cost here
I wish you could feel what I feel
Echoes of moments, of faces, of voices
I push them away with a swipe of my hand
I made unchoosable choices
You can’t understand

Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me
Come and see what you made me to be
Now I know what you meant by family
I used to always look up and see
The light that cast the shadow around me
