Family?

[Verse 1] You got my last name But not my whole life You shared my face Still cut like a knife There’s a house full of pictures And still I feel alone Some doors stay open Some hearts stay closed [Pre-Chorus] I know the old ties They run bone-deep I know the ones you choose Can still make you bleed So tell me What are we? [Chorus] Family? Or just a name Family? Or a chain Some blood stays near Some love stays true Some choose you back That’s family too [Verse 2] I’ve seen a stranger Leave more room to heal Than the ones at the table Who never asked what I feel You can share a roof And never share a home You can say “we’re kin” And still be alone [Pre-Chorus] I know the old ties They run bone-deep I know the ones you choose Can still make you breathe So tell me What are we? [Chorus] Family? Or just a name Family? Or a chain Some blood stays near Some love stays true Some choose you back That’s family too [Bridge] Maybe blood is the river Maybe love is the shore Maybe the ones who stay Are the ones I’m made for If you pick me once I’ll pick you back If you hold my hand I won’t turn back [Final Chorus] Family? Say it again Family? Let it be men Some blood stays near Some love stays true Some choose you back That’s family too Some blood cuts deep Some hearts pull through Some choose you back That’s family too
