[Verse 1]
You walked in holding his hand
Thought you’d just be part of his plans
But you asked about my day and you stayed
Sat on my floor
Laughed at my jokes
Listened close when my voice broke
You remembered every word that I said
[Chorus]
You’re the sister I always wanted
Didn’t know my heart had space like this
Every flaw you treat so gentle
Every doubt you meet with kindness
You see all the mess I’m hiding
And somehow you still choose me
You’re the sister I always wanted
And the woman I hope I can be
[Verse 2]
You don’t flinch at the parts I hate
You just say
“That makes you brave”
Sharing all the scars you had to earn
In the kitchen at 2 a.m
You say
“I’ve been there
I get it”
And suddenly the shame begins to turn
[Chorus]
You’re the sister I always wanted
Didn’t know my heart had space like this
Every flaw you treat so gentle
Every doubt you meet with kindness
You see all the mess I’m hiding
And somehow you still choose me
You’re the sister I always wanted
And the woman I hope I can be
[Bridge]
One day if someone looks up to me
I’ll remember how you loved first
Easily
I’ll hold them like you held my heart
Safe in your open arms (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You’re the sister I always wanted
Didn’t know my heart had space like this
Every fear you turn to courage
Every tear you turn to lightness
You see all the mess I’m hiding
And somehow you still choose me
You’re the sister I always wanted
And the woman I hope I can be
