Family Line Lyrics
My father never talked a lot
He just took a walk around the block
Till all his anger took a hold of him
And then he’d hit
My mother never cried a lot
She took the punches, but she never fought
Till she said “I’m leaving and I’ll take the kids”
So she did
I say “they’re just the ones who gave me life,”
But I truly am
My parents child
Scattered cross my family line
I’m so good at telling lies
That came from my mother’s side,
Told a million to survive
Scattered cross my family line God,
I have my father's eyes
But my sister’s when I cry
I can run,
But I can't hide
From my family line
It’s hard to put it into words
How the holidays will always hurt
I watch the fathers with their little girls
And wonder what I did
To deserve this?
How could you hurt a little kid?
I can't forget, I can’t forgive you
Cause now I’m scared
That everyone I love will leave me.
Scattered cross my family line
I’m so good at telling lies
That came from my mother’s side,
Told a million to survive
Scattered cross my family line
God I have my father's eyes
But my sister’s when I cry
I can run, but I can't hide
From my family line
From my family line
All that I did
To try to undo it
All of my pain
And all your excuses
I was a kid
But I wasn’t clueless
Someone who loves you wouldn’t do this
All of my past I tried to erase it
But now I see,
Would I even change it?
Might share a face
And share a last name
But we are not the same.
Scattered cross my family line
I’m so good at telling lies
That came from my mother’s side,
Told a million to survive
Scattered cross my family line
God I have my father's eyes
But my sister’s when I cry
I can run, but I can't hide
From my family line
From my family line
