My Father Never Talked A Lot
He Just Took A Walk Around The Block
′Til All His Anger Took A Hold Of HimAnd 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

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

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
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 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
From My Family Line
