With your mother's cameo brooch Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes You watched her since you were small You are the new belle of the ball With your father's bruise on your arm Telling me it's no cause for alarm Stop pushing people away You can't live your life this way I will always be there for you Whenever you need me, someone to talk to With your sister's love for her dad You tell her it's the piano teacher that has been bad You said you hadn't learnt your scales She said you were going off the rails But that was nothing to what you are now And I'm not picking holes and I don't want to row But people are getting scared We can see your bones, and we were unprepared I will always be there for you Whenever you need me, someone to talk to I will always be there for you Whenever you need me, someone to talk to I will always be there for you Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
