Family Line
[00:12.15] My father never talked a lot
[00:15.09] He just took a walk around the block
[00:18.09] 'Til all his anger took a hold of him
[00:21.54] And then he'd hit
[00:25.00] My mother never cried a lot
[00:27.92] She took the punches, but she never fought
[00:31.11] 'Til she said, "I'm leaving, and I'll take the kids"
[00:34.29] So she did
[00:37.48] I say they're just the ones who gave me life
[00:44.12] But I truly am my parents' child
[00:50.58] Scattered 'cross my family line
[00:54.04] I'm so good at telling lies
[00:57.22] That came from my mother's side
[01:00.40] Told a million to survive
[01:03.60] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:06.78] God, I have my father's eyes
[01:10.28] But my sister's when I cry
[01:13.49] I can run, but I can't hide
[01:16.40] From my family line
[01:23.64] It's hard to put it into words
[01:26.29] How the holidays will always hurt
[01:29.48] I watch the fathers with their little girls
[01:32.67] And wonder what I did to deserve this
[01:36.39] How could you hurt a little kid?
[01:39.57] I can't forget, I can't forgive you
[01:43.03] 'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
[01:48.87] Scattered 'cross my family line
[01:52.06] I'm so good at telling lies
[01:55.25] That came from my mother's side
[01:58.45] Told a million to survive
[02:01.64] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:04.83] God, I have my father's eyes
[02:08.07] But my sister's when I cry
[02:11.24] I can run, but I can't hide
[02:14.17] From my family line
[02:20.62] From my family line
[02:27.31] Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
[02:31.03] All of my pain and all your excuses
[02:34.21] I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
[02:37.24] (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
[02:40.69] All of my past, I tried to erase it
[02:43.34] But now I see, would I even change it?
[02:46.27] Might share a face and share a last name, but
[02:49.45] (We are not the same)
[02:51.84] Scattered 'cross my family line
[02:54.76] I'm so good at telling lies
[02:58.21] That came from my mother's side
[03:01.23] Told a million to survive
[03:04.15] Scattered across my family line
[03:07.34] God, I have my father's eyes
[03:10.56] But my sister's when I cry
[03:13.75] I can run, but I can't hide
[03:16.67] From my family line
[03:22.88] From my family line
