Family Ties

I know

I'm my mother's child, mother's child

I could never be that cold

When you need me the most, mm

I don't wanna hurt nobody, no

I can't fix her troubles, no

Family can hurt you the most

Someone's gotta break this cycle

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Woo-ooh

Woo-ooh

Look me in my eyes, and you lie

Then I caught you out, and you cry

Tell me how you can stand by

Someone who's making threats

This ain't family ties

In your anger, you show me where your loyalty lies

Now you can make your bed

I hope you sleep good tonight

I gave you grace

But the cycle keeps holding you back

Now I can't hesitate

I have to be the change

Ooh

Ooh

All alone
