This song is a love letter to her little brother, who struggles with addiction, and the heartbreaking experience of desperately wanting to help somebody you love. It’s the knock-the-wind-out-of-you sickness caused by powerlessness. It’s about growing up. It’s about watching each other change. “All I...
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna lose you, I miss talking to you
And feeling so happy, we got you back
I was relieved you seemed so
Happy and healthy, things were back on track
I watch all your progress, I blink and you lost it
I wish I could stop this
Now we're back to square one, you hit rock bottom
I've tried everything, to get through
[Pre-Chorus]
To make you understand
How much I care
I wish I was there
You're hurting me, too
[Chorus]
I feel sick to my stomach knowing how much I want this
To all go away
If I find the right thing to say
You'll get better, things will change
[Verse 2]
I hate feeling helpless, I don't recognize you
The painful nostalgia of watching you change
Change, change, while I drift away, -way, -way
I wanna repeat it all and say I'll keep you safe
Now we're back to square one, you hit rock bottom
I've tried everything, to get through
[Pre-Chorus]
To make you understand
How much I care
I wish I was there
You're hurting me, too
[Chorus]
I feel sick to my stomach knowing how much I want this
To all go away
If I find the right thing to say
You'll get better, things will change
You'll get better. things will change
