my little sister lost a tooth Lyrics

Yeah, this is what happens when you stay up all night

You start thinking about the past

I just want you to know you're not alone, cause I've got your back no matter what

Yeah

And if you cry, I will always be by your side

It happened on a Sunday, I was heading off to bed, turn over my left side, that was when I heard you cry

So I rushed down the stairs, and there lying on the floor was a little bloody tooth

A string was tied to it like a hook to a dead fish

Siblings looked at me like they weren't a part of this

The other end was tied to a door handle, and the window on that door was fragmental

Dad was standing right there next to you, he was holding a can filled with some kind of brew

Didn't understand why it needed pulled out so soon, but then I realized it wasn't ready and dad was just drunk

And that was when my heart sunk for you, watching you bleed with tears running down your cheeks

Never forgave him since

Treating the place like it was some kind of zoo for him to waste around in, and hurt little people like you

I just want you to know you're not alone

Cause I've got your back, no matter what

Yeah, Yeah

And if you cry, I will always be by your side

Cause I've got your back, no matter what

No matter what

Yeah, yeah

And so it begins, another week of school, just stay by my side

I know it isn't cool when others hurt you on top of all that we go through at home

But I can promise you, you are not alone

I'll be by your side, protecting you from the bullies

And I know you're a little insecure about the gap in your mouth

But if they tease about it, I will punch their own teeth out

Your tooth will soon grow back, nothing to worry about

It'll be much stronger, just like your character

It gets broken down, then gets brought back up

As you get older, you'll become wiser

And that's just how the cookie crumbles

You'll find out for yourself one day

Eventually, I won't always be there as I used to

You'll have to learn to manage on your own

Sounds super depressing, I know

But this is part of life, and this is how you grow

Time has gone by now, going off to high school

It'll be alright, yeah

You're a lot tougher than you were back in the first verse

Now go out there with confidence and show them what you're worth

I'll still be around if you ever need anything

Just know that I'm not perfect, I can't help you with everything

We've been through a lot together over the years

Tragedies that caused you to shed more than just tears

Daddy had a heart attack, your friend overdosed, your pet died along the road

All these things you've lost, just like that little tooth

But the difference is, is that they're never coming back

And that's what makes life sometimes really, really sad

But you pressed on through the pain and the sorrow

You were living life, not worried about tomorrow

You didn't let it break you, had such strong roots

I just really wish that you were still here

Cause I've got your back

No matter what

And if you cry

Cause I've got your back

No matter what

No matter what
