i've seen my family push me away Was it the memories that kept me here They say what doesn't kill you will make you a man That sounds like a fool's prophecy That you bought into wholeheartedly And to my family, my dear family I've seen you push me away I never thought about my past to determine my present course Its amazing how much one can love something just to throw it away At 23 you have no idea how far you can really fall Or how disconnected you can become But I taught myself fast Because its only after we've lost everything you're free to do anything I'll see you at the bottom of everything Year after year we'll grow farther After all I've done for you..
