family tree

See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
I was taught one day in another life
To meet a nice boy and become a wife
He'll put food up on the table and
He'll always be faithful and
You'll always be stable and
You'll never be ungrateful
You told me different definitions
'Cause ****ed-up seeds carry on tradition
I won't become your new addition
Baby listen, baby listen
The truth is that my roots, they come from the dark
But, the more that I loved you, the more that I learned
I'm not gonna fight what I know I deserve
Know what I deserve
And it's easy now to see
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you 'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
At 23, she was earning her own living, and living her own life
And in her time, being a bachelor girl isn't the social disgrace it was when our parents called them 'spinsters '
Maybe I'm just too jaded
Probably way too young to think
That it's so complicated
Too young to think so into things
But, no, no, no, no
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family (family, family)
Oh, hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised ( raised)
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree (oh no)
Should've known the way you'd be loving me (loving me)
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised (way you were raised)
How I let you stay and grow on me (on me)
I need better than your family tree
