Family

The phone goes both ways
But there's a reason I don't call
And it's not like I don't miss you at all
I feel you everywhere
Even more when you're not here
And I don't like that feeling at all

Fights and tears at 8am
You get the knife out from the drawer
Plates go flying and I can't stop crying
But I can't let you be a killer
And I know that it was self defense
I know you meant no offense
But I don't know how to feel
'Cause it felt like looking in a mirror

Who are we without family
I don't know if that makes us strong
Or if it shows how weak we are
'Cause who would we be without family

I see myself in your eyes and I know you see you in mine
Projecting where you've settled in
Reflecting what you could've been
I'm a stranger to you and you're a stranger to me
I'm sure that's not what you intended
But it seems like that's how it's ending

Who are we without family
I don't know if that makes us strong
Or if it shows how weak we are
'Cause who would we be without family

I'm scared I'll turn out just like you
And make someone cry like you do
Full of pride and vanity
And say 'you understand we're family

I'm scared I'll end up just like her
With someone just like you
Questioning my sanity
But say 'I understand we're family'
