Family Lyrics

The phone goes both ways

But there's a reason I don't call

And it's not like I don't miss you at all

But I feel you everywhere

Even more when you're not here

And I don't like that feeling at all

Fights and tears at 8am

You get the knife out from the drawer

Plates go flying and I can't stop crying

But I can't let you be a killer

And I know it was just self defense

I know you meant no offense

But I don't know how to feel

'Cause it felt like looking in a mirror

Who are we without family

I don't know if that makes us strong

Or if it shows how weak we are

'Cause who would we be without family

I see myself in your eyes

And I know you see you in mine

Projecting where you've settled in

Reflecting what you could've been

I'm a stranger to you

And you're a stranger to me

I'm sure that's not what you intended

But it seems like that's how it's ending

Who are we without family

I don't know if that makes us strong

Or if it shows how weak we are

'Cause who would we be without family

I'm scared I'll turn out just like you

And make someone cry like you do

Full of pride and vanity

And say 'You understand, we're family

I'm scared I'll end up just like her

With someone just like you

Questioning my sanity

But say 'I understand, we're family'
