sister how come you won't admit
that you're beautiful and that you're sick
that you're an addict politely struggling to fit
you've got the power there so how come you can't find it

how many tragic accidents did it take
for you to burry every fiber of your faith
how many tragic accidents did it take
for that part of you to die

what can i give to you that could counter
the offers you took in sister
and if i could change everything
would it be enough to change your mind

and let your tears fall down
let your tears fall down like they need to sister

you're living you life on somebody elses clock
and you realize it's stealing every second that you've got
and you think that your smile is convincing
but it's not

how many tragic accidents did it take
to burry every fiber of your faith

what can i give to you that could counter
the offers you took in sister
and if i could change everything
would it be enough to change your mind

and let your tears fall down
let your tears fall down like they need to sister
let your tears fall down
cuz they'll soothe you

sister how come you won't admit
you've got the power there so how come you can't find it?
