Actually, if you think about it...

1) Weiss is allowed to be a Huntress. In addition, her trial was one that could've killed her (fighting a giant robot that pretty much had the advantage until she decided to use Dust). Weiss almost feels expendable here. It's not 'the end of the world' if she accidentally dies.

2) The 'lonely' lyrics plus the bunk beds comment works the other way as well. Why will Weiss want bunkbeds, if she didn't have someone to share it with? And if she has a sister and can't share a room with her since youth, then will you not feel lonely as well?

In fact, I dare say the fact that she has a sister but cannot be family with her, makes it far lonelier than being the only child from the very beginning. People won't feel nearly as much loss for something they don't have in the first place.

At this point I'm inclined to think that Weiss is the elder sister. Weiss is the heir, and she has to be perfect to meet the Schnee's standards. That includes joining Beacon and becoming the best Huntress (or whatever) in the world.

I believe she might have thought of 'giving up' during the White Trailer and just let Winter to take her role as the heiress of the Schnee. Winter almost certainly is an extremely talented girl, one that makes Weiss feel enough pressure that she wants to give up. Her sister may even be 'perfect' in her eyes. In the end, she did not give up and stayed strong.
