"tetherball" lyrics

(You have to teach her how big girls play)

Tetherball on the playground turned full mental breakdown
You would've thought someone was dead
Parents getting divorced from a third-party source
Not something you should learn from a friend
I think it really fucked with my head

But even though that's sincerely true
I should've been looking out for you
I had a head start on the grieving part
But for you it was out of the blue, so

Sister, I'm sorry
That I let you down, oh
It was too much weight to carry
So we hit the ground, oh
I know I can't help if you resent me
Just know that I'm here whenever you're ready
'Cause, sister, I'm sorry
Mm-mm
Mm-mm

When I look through old tapes from our camcorder days
We don't hug, and it just makes me sad
We're so young and so sweet, except for when we were mean
Some days, I wish that I could go back
But I know I can't think like that

'Cause I've got a hindsight point of view
But that doesn't change how little I knew
So I'd never hit restart 'cause we're who we are
Because of what we went through, but

Sister, I'm sorry
That I let you down, oh
(That I let you down)
It was too much weight to carry
So we hit the ground, oh
(So we hit the ground)
I know I can't help if you resent me
Just know that I'm here whenever you're ready
'Cause, sister, I'm sorry
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
(I'm sorry)
