Since We Were Three
Words can’t express
Like falling in a dream
It’s broken, everything
This perfect little life we had
And yet, still,
My love for you never falters
You know my loyalty like a carving
In the trunk of an old tree
That you’ve traced with your fingertips
Since we were three
Since we were three
I’ve tried
Love, I’ve tried
To be there for you
And yet, still
I feel that there was more I could have done
If I had just spent an extra hour
Checking in from time to time
I know it’s not about me
But since we were three
I’ve only ever wanted the best for you
It feels like my duty
It comes with the title
I’ve tried to uphold
And yet, still
I could have been better for you
If only I had known
That you would need me
I’ve always needed you
Ever since we were three

This piece is about my best friend. She is struggling right now and I know things aren't easy but I wrote it so she would know that I'll always be there for her.
