Lyric

You hold my hand in silence

Before leaving for school

Again mum and my brother are fighting

It doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m with you

And every morning we sing in the car

We play games, we guess the temperature

I don’t wanna go to school

But I'll do it for 7 minutes with you

Right from the start

You knew more about me

Than anyone else and

When I think about myself now

I see you in many things I do

I used to hate to be so similar to you but now

I like it ‘cause I feel much closer to you

In the distance

You stare at my door in silence

After a hard day of work

You can hear my voice crying

But you can’t find the right words

And every day a sad look in my face

High school drama mixed with heartbreak

I don’t wanna go to school

But I don’t even know how to tell you

I should have known that

You knew more about me

Than anyone else and

When I think about myself now

I’m proud to be like you

I used to hate to be so similar to you but now

I like it ‘cause I feel much closer to you

In the distance

I remember those words you once told me

“Life isn’t simple but you’ll get over it”

“Someday you will see your worst days

As the beginning of your best ones”

“And you will write songs about it

How you fought and you’re still fighting”

“Your songs will mean a lot to you

And will help people like me”

Right from the start

You knew more about me

Than anyone else and

When I think about myself now

I see you in many things I do

I used to hate to be so similar to you but now

I like it ‘cause I feel much closer to you

In the distance
