family line

My father never talked a lot
我的父親沉默寡言
He just took a walk around the block
他常在家附近散步
Till all his anger took a hold of him
可怒火攻心時
And then he'd hit
他便動起手來

My mother never cried a lot
我的母親從不輕易流淚
She took the punches, but she never fought
她忍氣吞聲逆來順受
Till she said, 'I'm leaving and I'll take the kids'
後來她終於提出'離婚吧孩子我來帶'
So she did
她說到做到

I say, 'They're just the ones who gave me life'
我心情複雜地說父母是給我生命的人
But I truly am my parents child
但我也只是他們的孩子而已

Scattered 'cross my family line
家族分崩離析會少離多
I'm so good at telling lies
說謊是我的身長技
That came from my mother's side
那來自母親的言傳身教
Told a million to survive
內心對自己說了無數遍要活下去
Scattered 'cross my family line
骨肉離散和睦不再
God, I have my father's eyes
天吶我有雙與父親如出一轍的眼
But my sister's when I cry
而姊妹們離家後我不禁淚流滿面
I can run but I can't hide
那個我絲毫不留戀的家
From my family line
我逃不了卻能暫且逃避一番

It's hard to put it into words
難以言喻如鯁在喉
How the holidays will always hurt
為何本該輕鬆的假期總帶來陰霾與傷害
I watch the fathers with their little girls
我與姊妹們看著父輩的所作所為
And wonder what I did to deserve this?
想知道我到底做錯了什麼要落得如此下場

How could you hurt a little kid?
你對小孩怎麼還下得去手?
I can't forget, I can't forgive you
這記憶太苦澀深刻我不能原諒你
'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
而今我多麼害怕我愛的人都將一一離我而去

Scattered 'cross my family line
家族分離四散和睦不再
I'm so good at telling lies
說謊是我的身長技
That came from my mother's side
那來自母親的言傳身教
Told a million to survive
內心對自己說了無數遍要活下去
Scattered 'cross my familyline
骨肉分離離多會少
God, I have my father's eyes
天吶我有雙與父親如出一轍的眼
But my sister's when I cry
姊妹們離家後我不禁淚流滿面
I can run, but I can't hide
那個我絲毫不留戀的家
From my family line
我逃不了卻能暫且逃避一番
From my family line
那個我絲毫不留戀的家啊

Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
我百般嘗試皆為抹去舊日傷痕
All of my pain and all your excuses
記憶中我苦痛不斷而你藉口連篇
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
那時我是懵懂卻並非一無所知
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
(愛你的人絕不會這麼做)
All of my past, I tried to erase it
我的過去他們企圖盡數抹去
But now I see, would I even change it?
而今一覽無餘我會否改變境遇
Might share a face and share a last name, but
你我或許相貌相仿姓氏一致可我深知
(We are not the same)
(我和你不是同一類人)
