Mother do you have to be so mean to my brother He's only 17 And brother if only you could see that you're not dirty She's the one who isn't clean And sister I miss you and I'm a coward I'll admit But a burning house can't hurt you if you're not inside of it And you can't save someone who doesn't know they're sick So I'll just play the bad guy cause I'm used to it Mother I miss the times you'd tell me that I'm pretty And I would say I got it from my mother but lately you don't recognize my face And I guess that's what I wanted But there's some things that makeup won't erase I thought that if I just let you cry to me instead And tell you that I understand the hurt inside your head That you would start to heal and maybe we could be alright But all you learned was if you talk for long enough you'd eventually be right Maybe if I block your number I won't hear you calling every night But what's the use You'll just change it and you'll call me up again to pick a fight I wish I was as strong as my brother He knows when enough is enough I miss when I was patient as my sister But I hope she understands when she grows up Cause you can't save someone who doesn't know they're sick So I'll just play the bad guy cause I'm used to it Cause after all I got it from my mother
