my little sister 
she's about 16 
she's the prettiest girl 
you've ever seen 
she's got all these worries 
bowling in her brain 
and she says she's insane 

she cries in the night 
life's too big to handle 
she's waiting for someone 
to light a candle 
she plays her violin 
until it's day 
then all the pain has gone away 

my sister, you're like no-one else 
you know you're being too hard on yourself 
lovers may come 
and lovers may go 
but you'll always have yourself 
and me as your friend 

I know life's a bitch 
and then you die 
but I think it's still worth it 
at the end of the ride 
these things were only meant 
to make you stronger 
to make you happy 
to make you wise 

so don't throw away that gift 
and play that violin 
let all of our friends come in 
let the party begin 
I can't tell you enough 
how proud I am 
to have a sister like you 

my sister, you're like no-one else 
you should love yourself before 
you love someone else 
lovers may come 
and lovers may go 
but you'll always have yourself 
and me as your friend 

people may say what they like 
and you may not like what they say 
you're not like anyone else 
you're not like anyone else 

my sister, you should see yourself 
the only thing you miss is self-confidence 
lovers may come 
and lovers may go 
but you'll always have yourself 
and me as your friend
