Family Line

My father never talked a lot
我的父亲 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
可怒火攻心时
And then he'd hit
他便动起手来
My mother never cried a lot
我的母亲 从不轻易流泪
She took the punches, but she never fought
她忍气吞声 逆来顺受
Till she said, "I'm leaving and I'll take the kids"
后来她终于提出 "离婚吧 孩子我来带"
So she did
她说到做到
I say, "They're just the ones who gave me life"
我心情复杂地说 父母是给我生命的人
But I truly am my parents' child
但我也只是他们的孩子而已
Scattered 'cross my family line
家族分崩离析 会少离多
I'm so good at telling lies
说谎是我的身长技
That came from my mother's side
那来自母亲的身教言传
Told a million to survive
为熬过度日的艰难 撒下无数谎言
Scattered 'cross my family line
骨肉离散 和睦不再
God, I have my father's eyes
天呐 我有双与父亲如出一辙的眼
But my sister's when I cry
而泪流满面时 那双眼又与姊妹神似
I can run but I can't hide
那个家 我逃得了一时
From my family line
却躲不过一世
It's hard to put it into words
难以言喻 如鲠在喉
How the holidays will always hurt

I watch the fathers with their little girls
我与姊妹们看着父辈的所作所为
And wonder what I did to deserve this?
想知道我到底做错了什么 要落得如此下场
How could you hurt a little kid?

I can't forget, I can't forgive you
这记忆太苦涩深刻 我不能原谅你
'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me

Scattered 'cross my family line

I'm so good at telling lies
说谎是我的身长技
That came from my mother's side
那来自母亲的身教言传
Told a million to survive

Scattered 'cross my family line
骨肉分离 离多会少
God, I have my father's eyes

But my sister's when I cry
而泪流满面时 那双眼又与姊妹神似

却躲不过一世啊
Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
我百般尝试 皆为抹去旧日伤痕
All of my pain and all your excuses
记忆中我苦痛不断 而你借口连篇
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
那时我是懵懂 却并非一无所知
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
(爱你的人 绝不会这么做)
All of my past, I tried to erase it
那些过去 我想尽数抹去
But now I see, would I even change it?
而今一览无余 我会否改变境遇
Might share a face and share a last name, but
你我或许相貌相仿 姓氏一致 可我深知
(We are not the same)
(我和你不是同一类人)
