Because I'm me

I thought that the pain and rage
inside me would tear me apart.
I thought I might really explode
and I thought he'd broke my heart.

I thought I would die
from the pain so deep inside
and I only wanted you to listen
I only needed to confide.

But you had other things to talk about
Your man and his new plan
You had other things on your mind
When I needed to hold your hand.

Days later you came to me
Asking why I never come home.
You hate it when you need me
And I just need to roam.

I needed to talk, I said
To someone who might care.
You call her so many names
but when it counts she's there.

You dont see what the big deal is
you said to my face.
Maybe you think all I need is to listen
when you invade my space.

It meant nothing to you
how I felt inside
you didnt care except for
when I ran in hide.

Only then because you wanted me
to pooh pooh your heart
HE hadn't called again
and you were falling apart.

This last Sunday, I heard you
talking on the phone
to that one woman you know
who won't leave your men alone.

You said how bad you felt
and how scared she must be
you felt so bad for her
that she felt just like me.

Our situations aren't that different
but she left her man and mine left me.
Maybe it's because I'm your sister
maybe it's because I'm me.
