Hey Sister
Breaking Free from Love's Illusion: Hey Sister's Poignant Tale
Lyrics
she told me all about her life one crowded night
She shared her life story on a busy night.
sadly, she thought he hung the moon
Regrettably, she idealized him, thinking he was perfect.
she never meant to fall in love with his kind
She unintentionally fell in love with someone like him.
i'm here to tell you girl, it happens all the time
The speaker notes that falling for such individuals is common.
don't wait around for him all your life
Advice not to wait endlessly for him.
Hey sister tell me -- what are you waiting on
Encouraging the sister to share her thoughts and feelings.
she said brother there are nights, i drink myself to sleep
She copes with pain by drinking and he dominates her dreams.
and he invades every moment of my every dream
Expressing the emotional impact of his presence on her.
oh tell me brother what can i do, to make it all work out
Asking for advice on making the situation better.
i've tried so damned hard, and i'm still without
Despite efforts, she's struggling without resolution.
don't wait around for him
Reiterating not to wait for him.
don't sit and pine for him all your life
Advising against longing for him throughout her life.
Hey sister tell me -- what are you waiting on
Repeating the call for the sister to share her feelings.
Does he cause you pain -- he will never change
Recognizing the pain he causes and asserting he won't change.
And it's been so long -- why don't we sit and talk about the weather;
Suggesting a conversation about unrelated topics to distract.
we could get drunk forever -- what are you waiting on
Proposing an alternative, like getting drunk together.
she told me all about her life, one lonely night
Recounting another instance of her sharing her life story.
sadly she thought he hung the moon
Reiterating her misguided admiration for him.
she never meant to fall in love with his kind
Repeating the unintentional love for someone of his nature.
i hate to tell you girl, i can't ease your mind
Expressing inability to comfort her or alleviate her concerns.
don't wait around for him
Advising not to wait for him.
don't sit and pine for him all your life
Emphasizing not to spend her life pining for him.
