   D#m                   C#
My father never talked a lot
        B
He just took a walk around the block
             D#m                   C#
'Til all his anger took a hold of him
              B
And then he'd hit

My mother never cried a lot
She took the punches, but she never fought
'Til 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

Chorus:
            D#m             F#
Scattered 'cross my family line
        B
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

Chorus

From my family line

Oh-oh

G#m                D#
All that I did to try to undo it
C#
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, same)

Chorus

From my family line (Mmhm)
