lyrics

Never knew you, wish I did
Other sisters, they show up to school hand in hand
I’m staring again

Born to people who hid their fears
Whisper softly, “I wish that I could disappear”
We learned not to hear

That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me

And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us

Another wedding on the lawn
Caught your eye for barely a moment too long
And then it was gone
Catholic family, never planned
Pass the wine and I feel your eyes on my hands
We're drinking again

That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me

And somewhere in your face I saw
All of the family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us

And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us
