Terri Hendrix Sister's Song lyrics

You had the left side and I had the right
With a line down the middle so we wouldn't fight
Two sisters sharing a room
With desk in the middle of two twin beds

I listened to every word you said
And when I couldn't face the world
I faced you instead

I saw me it pulled me through when
I saw me it pulled me through when
I saw me from your point of view
We twirled around in the breeze

The years turned faster than the leaves
The seasons stopped when you left home
I remember that first night
I was so alone I kept on the lights

And stood in a half empty room
On the line you had drawn

When life picked me up and spun me around
You never stopped and judged
You showed me that the way through
Was to do the best I could
Did you know that every holiday

When relatives mixed up our names
I smiled to myself and pretended I was you
When you were around there were so many words
I never knew how to say, I've got to let you know
I said them all in my own way
