Your Part

You didn't want a fight
Said it's not your place
to judge my folks parenting
So when Christmas came that year
I spent the day at home
While you drank with them
At Grandma's house all day

You would have gone to my funeral
Stood in line to hug my mom
You would have let them
Carve the wrong name to stone

You'd claim the neutral part
Then tell me to forgive
But not ask to hear my side
Now I don't believe in family
Can't forget how much it hurt
That when shit got hard
You all picked the status quo over me

You would have gone to my funeral
Stood in line to hug my mom
You would have let them
Carve the wrong name to stone

I know it doesn't seem fair
You were just living life
Didn't mean to cause me harm
But that is how oppression works
I've made the same mistake
We all do our worst
When we bite our tongues
And play our parts

You would have gone to my funeral
Stood in line to hug my mom
You would have let them
Carve the wrong name to stone

You would have gone to my funeral
Stood in line to hug my mom
You would have let them
Carve the wrong name to stone
