family line
[00:13.02] My father never talked a lot
[00:15.95] He just took a walk around the block
[00:18.87] 'Til all his anger took a hold of him
[00:22.32] And then he'd hit
[00:26.04] My mother never cried a lot
[00:28.69] She took the punches
[00:30.55] But she never fought
[00:31.88] 'Til she said, "i'm leaving
[00:33.21] And i'll take the kids"
[00:35.34] So she did
[00:38.25] I say, "they're just the ones
[00:40.91] Who gave me life"
[00:44.90] But i truly am my parents' child
[00:51.53] Scattered 'cross my family line
[00:54.99] I'm so good at telling lies
[00:57.92] That came from my mother's side
[01:01.10] Told a million to survive
[01:04.55] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:07.74] God, i have my father's eyes
[01:10.93] But my sister's when i cry
[01:14.11] I can run, but i can't hide
[01:17.04] From my family line
[01:23.67] It's hard to put it into words
[01:27.40] How the holidays will always hurt
[01:30.32] I watch the fathers
[01:32.45] With their little girls
[01:33.51] And wonder what i did to deserve this
[01:37.49] How could you hurt a little kid?
[01:40.95] I can't forget, i can't forgive you
[01:44.14] 'Cause now i'm scared
[01:46.52] That everyone i love will leave me
[01:49.97] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:53.16] I'm so good at telling lies
[01:56.35] That came from my mother's side
[01:59.53] Told a million to survive
[02:02.99] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:06.18] God, i have my father's eyes
[02:09.37] But my sister's when i cry
[02:12.82] I can run, but i can't hide
[02:15.48] From my family line
[02:22.11] From my family line
[02:28.76] Oh-oh
[02:29.82] All that i did to try to undo it
[02:33.00] All of my pain and all your excuses
[02:36.19] I was a kid, but i wasn't clueless
[02:39.65] (someone who loves you
[02:41.51] Wouldn't do this)
[02:42.56] All of my past, i tried to erase it
[02:46.02] But now i see, would i even change it?
[02:49.21] Might share a face
[02:51.34] And share a last name but
[02:52.40] (we are not the same)
[02:54.79] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:57.97] I'm so good at telling lies
[03:01.16] That came from my mother's side
[03:04.35] Told a million to survive
[03:07.81] Scattered 'cross my family line
[03:10.99] God, i have my father's eyes
[03:14.18] But my sister's when i cry
[03:17.37] I can run, but i can't hide
[03:20.29] From my family line
[03:26.93] From my family line(mmhm)
