It is about an Aunt that lived with us, that recently moved out. She was that one aunt that visited once a year and many were glad. [bodytext] => Hello?
Are you there?
Can you hear me?

My parents are
Getting divorced
Do you care?

If your there
Are you sure
You can hear me?

Because to me
You don’t seem
To care

Do you know
What its like
To be me?

You may
Think you do
But you don’t

Are you sure
You can really
See me?

Blurry eyed
On whiskey
And coke?

No
You can not
Hear me

You cant see
Or know
Who I am

Because to you
I’m just
A child

As if I
Don’t even have
A name

So tell me
Again
You can hear me

Tell me
You know
Who I am

Say you know
What its like
To be me

Because the truth
Is something
You’ll never see

Its you
Not we
In Your Eyes

Hello?
Are you there?
Can you hear me?

My parents are
Getting divorced
Do you care?

If your there
Are you sure
You can hear me?

Because to me
You don’t seem
To care

Do you know
What its like
To be me?

You may
Think you do
But you don’t

Are you sure
You can really
See me?

Blurry eyed
On whiskey
And coke?

No
You can not
Hear me

You cant see
Or know
Who I am

Because to you
I’m just
A child

As if I
Don’t even have
A name

So tell me
Again
You can hear me

Tell me
You know
Who I am

Say you know
What its like
To be me

Because the truth
Is something
You’ll never see

Its you
Not we
In Your Eyes
