Lyrics
Sister
Treating someone like a sister
Treat you like a brother
Behaving as if the relationship is familial
Burn you like no other
Causing pain in a unique and intense way
Hurt you like a lover
Inflicting harm with the intensity of a lover
Sister
Reiterating the sisterly connection
Had to put me down
Being rejected or criticized by the sister
Can make a faceless man frown
Having a negative impact on someone who has no identifiable face
You know I didn't make a sound
Suffering silently without making a noise
Oh no
Expressing surprise or disbelief
Sister
Repeating the theme of sisterhood
Oh sister
Repetition of the term "sister"
Would you find me if I'm lost
Asking if the sister would search for the speaker if they were lost
Ruin me without a cause
Destructively affecting the speaker without a valid reason
Oh the time it would cost
Highlighting the significant time it would take to recover
Sister
Reiterating the sister's role as a burden
That's a big fat burden
Acknowledging the sister's potential pain
I know you must be hurtin
Acknowledging the obvious without the need for explicit statement
Well it goes without saying
Emphasizing that certain things are self-evident
