Family Line
[00:12.66] My father never talked a lot
[00:15.32] He just took a walk around the block
[00:18.24] Till all his anger took a hold of him
[00:21.43] And then he'd hit
[00:25.15] My mother never cried a lot
[00:27.82] She took the punches, but she never fought
[00:31.01] Till she said: I'm leaving and I'll take the kids
[00:34.46] So she did
[00:37.91] I say they're just the ones who gave me life
[00:44.56] But I truly am my parents' child
[00:50.67] Scattered 'cross my family line
[00:54.11] I'm so good at telling lies
[00:57.30] That came from my mother's side
[01:00.22] Told a million to survive
[01:03.41] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:06.86] God, I have my father's eyes
[01:10.06] But my sister's when I cry
[01:13.24] I can run, but I can't hide
[01:16.43] From my family line
[01:23.60] It's hard to put it into words
[01:26.52] How the holidays will always hurt
[01:29.44] I watch the fathers with their little girls
[01:32.64] And wonder what I did to deserve this
[01:36.35] How could you hurt a little kid?
[01:39.81] I can't forget, I can't forgive you
[01:42.99] 'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
[01:48.83] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:52.02] I'm so good at telling lies
[01:55.21] That came from my mother's side
[01:58.13] Told a million to survive
[02:01.32] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:04.77] God, I have my father's eyes
[02:08.76] But my sister's when I cry
[02:11.15] I can run, but I can't hide
[02:14.07] From my family line
[02:20.44] From my family line
[02:27.09] Oh-oh
[02:27.88] All that I did to try to undo it
[02:31.08] All of my pain and all your excuses
[02:34.28] I was a kid, but I wasn't clueless
[02:36.92] (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
[02:39.85] All of my past I tried to erase it
[02:43.04] But now I see, would I even change it?
[02:46.76] Might share a face and share a last name but
[02:49.41] (We are not the same, same)
[02:51.53] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:54.99] I'm so good at telling lies
[02:57.92] That came from my mother's side
[03:01.37] Told a million to survive
[03:04.02] Scattered 'cross my family line
[03:07.48] God, I have my father's eyes
[03:10.67] But my sister's when I cry
[03:13.86] I can run, but I can't hide
[03:16.79] From my family line
[03:22.90] From my family line
