RUNNING DNA

I got my brown eyes, my average height
And my dark sense of humor
I can drink all night, and I'm good in a fight
Maybe you heard the rumours
The only thing I wish sometimes is I could let somebody in
But I can't, just like him, no, no

I got it from my father, so don't ask me to stay
Don't call me, I won't answer, 'cause I got nothing to say
Oh, it may be good for a couple of months
But that ain't enough to ever make me stay
It's running in my veins, that running DNA

Oh, whoa, it's running in my veins
Oh, whoa, that running DNA

He touches me, I pull away
That's too close for comfort
I'll obsess 'bout someone else
My kink is self-destruction
I'm sorry that I made you think that this could ever last
I fall and leave pretty fast, oh, yeah

I got it from my father, so don't ask me to stay
Don't call me, I won't answer, 'cause I got nothing to say
Oh, it may be good for a couple of months
But that ain't enough to ever make me stay
It's running in my veins, that running DNA

Oh, whoa, it's running in my veins
Oh, whoa, that running DNA
Oh, whoa, it's running in my veins
Oh, whoa, that running DNA

I sometimes wonder if you wanted kids
Wouldn't you pick up the phone if you did?
I had to heal from all of the pain
Pulled myself through while you pushed me away
I've carried your trauma, it's broken my back
Guess you could call it inheritance tax
Passing it down like a family estate
I'll burn it down, watch it go up in flames
