That's not true.

You don't mean that.
They loved us.
Stop making useless excuses.
Just because you had to mature fast,
Doesn't mean you need to make me.

You had to grow up raising your sibings,
I didn't need to grow up.
I can still be that little kid that
you always wanted to be.
Don't get mad because you were
the one who had to leave their childhood
behind.
