[Verse]
You were seven
I was nine
Fingers trembling
Breaking the line
Knew it was wrong
Knew it was fire
But I'd burn to keep you higher
[Chorus]
For you little sister
I'd take the fall
For you little sister
I'd bear it all
His shadow loomed
His voice would crawl
But for you little sister
I'd stand tall
[Verse 2]
He'd step in your room
I’d steal his stare
Calling him over
I’d meet despair
Your tears held back
Mine ran free
Trading places
Trading screams for peace
[Chorus]
For you little sister
I'd take the fall
For you little sister
I'd bear it all
His shadow loomed
His voice would crawl
But for you little sister
I'd stand tall
[Bridge]
Shattered nights
I still replay
Hate in my chest
It won’t decay
Your smile now
The only light
Kept you safe through endless night
[Chorus]
For you little sister
I'd take the fall
For you little sister
I'd bear it all
His shadow loomed
His voice would crawl
But for you little sister
I'd stand tall
