Family Line
[00:12.13] My father never talked a lot
[00:15.15] He just took a walk around the block
[00:18.15] 'Til all his anger took a hold of him
[00:21.39] And then he'd hit
[00:25.15] My mother never cried a lot
[00:28.05] She took the punches, but she never fought
[00:31.16] 'Til she said, "I'm leaving, and I'll take the kids"
[00:34.40] So she did
[00:37.65] I say they're just the ones who gave me life
[00:44.57] But I truly am my parents' child
[00:50.95] Scattered 'cross my family line
[00:54.01] I'm so good at telling lies
[00:57.68] That came from my mother's side
[01:01.00] Told a million to survive
[01:04.03] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:07.39] God, I have my father's eyes
[01:10.64] But my sister's when I cry
[01:13.28] I can run, but I can't hide
[01:16.96] From my family line
[01:23.65] It's hard to put it into words
[01:26.77] How the holidays will always hurt
[01:29.53] I watch the fathers with their little girls
[01:33.36] And wonder what I did to deserve this
[01:37.17] How could you hurt a little kid?
[01:39.41] I can't forget, I can't forgive you
[01:43.54] 'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
[01:48.59] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:51.90] I'm so good at telling lies
[01:55.52] That came from my mother's side
[01:58.54] Told a million to survive
[02:02.11] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:04.42] God, I have my father's eyes
[02:07.90] But my sister's when I cry
[02:11.47] I can run, but I can't hide
[02:14.54] From my family line
[02:20.65] From my family line
[02:27.40] Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
[02:31.50] All of my pain and all your excuses
[02:34.35] I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
[02:37.54] (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
[02:40.81] All of my past, I tried to erase it
[02:43.58] But now I see, would I even change it?
[02:46.82] Might share a face and share a last name, but
[02:49.53] (We are not the same)
[02:52.16] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:54.65] I'm so good at telling lies
[02:58.39] That came from my mother's side
[03:01.05] Told a million to survive
[03:04.30] Scattered across my family line
[03:07.54] God, I have my father's eyes
[03:10.87] But my sister's when I cry
[03:13.67] I can run, but I can't hide
[03:16.80] From my family line
[03:23.35] From my family line
