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.
