[Verse 1]
I’m the crack in the frame on the family wall
You’re the trophy in the light
Smiling down the hall
Every story that they tell
I’m the punchline fall
You roll your eyes
Hide the bruise from the last phone call
They say I’m “too much
” that I start the fights
But I’m the one who texts back when you can’t sleep at night
Cover for your sneaking out
I’m your alibi
Then you turn around and laugh when they crucify
[Pre-Chorus]
You get halos
I get blame
Same old house
Two different names
[Chorus]
I’m the problem sister
You’re the golden child
You burn me quiet while they call you mild
You’re so mean to me
But they never see
All the broken little things that I fix for you silently
I’m the problem sister
That’s the story told
But I’m the one who’d walk through fire just to keep you cold
[Verse 2]
Mom says
“Why can’t you be more like her?”
While I’m hiding all the mess you left in my dresser
Dad shakes his head when I raise my voice
Like I picked this part
Like I had a choice
I took the blame for the dent in the car
For the shattered glass
For your blacked-out scars
“Why you always getting into trouble?” they ask
While I bleed my knuckles just to build you a mask
[Pre-Chorus]
You get halos
I get scars
Same last name
Different stars
[Chorus]
I’m the problem sister
You’re the golden child
You burn me quiet while they call you mild
You’re so mean to me
But they never see
All the late-night lies I tell so they still believe in you
I’m the problem sister
That’s the script they hold
But I’m the one who’d take
