Lived my life backwards

I got through the pain first

Saw myself in you

Thought you saw me too

Now I know the truth hurts

Maybe it's too late to know

Think I got too vulnerable

Now I'm growing up

And I don't need your love, no

Not like I used to

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?

Suddenly you all wanna hold me

You don't even know me

I'm not saying that it's your fault

But blood ain't thicker than water

Maybe I'm not my father's daughter

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?

Sat at the table, I'm clenching my fists

And I can't look you in the eye

Try not to choke on thе words in my chest

I'm just trying my best not to cry

Don't yell, stand by

If I'm thе villain, I guess it's alright

You're nothing more than a stranger

Know I set my expectations too high

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?

Suddenly you all wanna hold me

You don't even know me

I'm not saying that it's your fault

But blood ain't thicker than water

Maybe I'm not my father's daughter

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?

I'm not tryna be heartless

But I can't find it in my heart to care

Ooh

If you could learn to be mindful

I really lost my mind back there

Ooh

I'm not tryna be heartless

But I can't find it in my heart to care

If you could learn to be mindful

I really lost my mind back there

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?

Suddenly you all wanna hold me

You don't even know me

I'm not saying that it's your fault

But blood ain't thicker than water

Maybe I'm not my father's daughter

If it doesn't walk like family

Talk like family

Why would I treat it like one?
