Family Lyrics

Hard to love, maybe just a little bit I guess it runs in the family

Along with the reasons I can't go without Being hard to love, I can give but I can't accept from others

I've got Hazard in my genes so I'm a desperado It's a shame it ended up this way

I guess my blood ain't as thick as the water They didn't think that the bed they laid

Would affect how I picked up the bottle If these four walls could talk they'd scream

If I peel back what's underneath It'd probably just do damage to my home

As kids we'd often think that the whole world was at our feet And that family meant forever but we were wrong

Cause the faces that I've always known They don't feel like family Just old friends I used to know

Hard to love, yeah they've been that way forever I guess it's tough to give something you've never known

Yeah the phone works both ways But I'm never on the phone much these days

And even when I need them they never show So if I say that I can't relate

To my relatives does that make me the problem The skeletons that lay in the basement of my last name

Might rot away before I come up with a reason

If these four walls could talk they'd scream If I peel back what's underneath It'd probably just do damage to my home

As kids we'd often think that the whole world was at our feet And that family meant forever but we were wrong

Cause the faces that I've always known They don't feel like family Just old friends that used to be family

Should be there for each other But they don't even share my name

It's crazy how the things we think stay covered Always seem to find the light someday

If these four walls could talk they'd scream If I peel back what's underneath It'd probably just do damage to my home

As kids we'd often think that the whole world was at our feet And that family meant forever but we were wrong

Cause the faces that I've always known Yeah, the faces that I've always known

Oh, the faces that I've always known They don't feel like family Just old friends I used to know

Friends I used to know
