VERSE
My father never talked a lot
He just took a walk around the block
'Til all his anger took a hold of him
VERSE
My mother never cried a lot
She took the punches but she never fought
PRE-CHORUS
I say they're just the ones who gave me life
But I truly am my parents' child
Scattered 'cross my family line
CHORUS
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
VERSE
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
PRE-CHORUS
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
Scattered across my family line
I'm so good at telling lies
That came from my mother's side
Told a million to survive
Scattered across 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
BRIDGE
Oh, 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
Might share a face and share a last name but
CHORUS
I'm so good at telling lies
That came from my mother's side
Told a million to survive
Scattered 'cross my family line
But my sister's when I cry
I can run but I can't hide from my family
