Family Tree Paroles

But I've loved you through this tangled legacy
Tracing twisted roots on our family tree

I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
And I wound up tough as stone like you did
If I don't learn to bend I know I'm going to break
Like you did

Lover, I must forgive you
I confused you for what I couldn't see inside of me
Dark things pulling, not evolving
Made a puppet out of me
You came with your tangled history
Both caught on the branches of our family tree

I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
I wound up all alone like you did
But I'm learning to bend so I won't break like you did
So I'll stay strong like you did
And I'll move on like you did
But I won't hide from the truth like you did
I'm learning to bend so I don't break
And you can bet I'll teach my kid that love will always find its way just like you did
