"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
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
