Bloodline

Where were you when I was 17 and fucking depressed?
Contemplating life you never knew a thing about it
You'd call me up so you can make feel like shit
I think it's funny now, you never really cared about me

They say love's never deeper than the bloodline
To be honest, they're all full of shit
I hold my breath so I can try again in the next life
You walked away while I was suffering

You've gone and fucked it up this time
You had your ways and I've got mine
Bet you never thought I'd turn out fine
Without your hands holding my life
You played no part in who I am
You taught me things that I can't stand
You can see, but damn, you were blind
Was a blessing in disguise

Now that I look think I'm lucky that you weren't around
I'm afraid I could've ended up exactly like you
The truth is you only cared when you were slipping away
You probably never even knew that I had graduated

And they say love's never deeper than the bloodline
To be honest, they're all full of shit
I tried my best, but couldn't wish you well in the next life
You walked away while I was suffering

You've gone and fucked it up this time
You had your ways and I've got mine
Bet you never thought I'd turn out fine
Without your hands holding my life
You played no part in who I am
You taught me things that I can't stand
You can see, but damn, you were blind
Was a blessing in disguise

I know you were no good for me
I still wish that I could see you again
Show you everything that I've become
Taught myself to be a man
I said "goodbye" before you left the world
And I wouldn't say I have regrets
I just wish that you learned to love me how
How a real fucking parent should

You've gone and fucked it up this time
You had your ways and I've got mine
Bet you never thought I'd turn out fine
Without your hands holding my life
You played no part in who I am
You taught me things that I can't stand
You can see, but damn, you were blind
Was a blessing in disguise
