[English]

Caught up in the middle

Had no choice, had no choice

Birthright forgotten

So silent, no voice

I see you

You know who

Little sister, little sister

Now realize, little sister

Overlooked little girl

Now realize, little sister

Overlooked little girl

Bottled up and empty holding back

...

At loss, you're forgotten getting back

Get back

Bottled up and empty holding back

...

At loss, you're forgotten getting back

Get back, get back, get back, yeah

...

Expectations of another

Love given to the younger

Broken father, broken brother

Emptiness feeds the hunger

...

I see you

You know who

Little sister, little sister

Now realize, little sister

Overlooked little girl

Now realize, little sister

Overlooked little girl

Bottled up and empty holding back

...

At loss, you're forgotten getting back

Get back

Bottled up and empty holding back

...

At loss, you're forgotten getting back

Get back, get back, get back, yeah

Now realize, little sister

Overlooked little girl

No direction, little sister

Overlooked little girl

Change

Change

Change (change)
