Stuart Young - Family Tree Lyrics

I'm no victim
I've placed myself here on the shelf
Sure I've got problems
Just like everyone else
But I've turned to the bottle
An amber flame at my lips
That's to try and numb it
But it only makes everything worse

This is for my family
For my family tree

Oh my Father, I'm sorry for the way I am
Oh my mother, I'm sorry for not being around
Oh my sister, I'm sorry for making you cry
Oh my family, I'll try my hardest to turn this around for good

I've got my friends
Who tell me just how it is
But I don't listen
Cause im stubborn to the core
And I want nothing more than me
And it hurts like hell
This life I am living
And I said a prayer
But it only seems to hit the ceiling

Oh my Father, I'm sorry for the way I am
Oh my mother, I'm sorry for making you cry
Oh my sister, I'm sorry for not being around for you
Oh my family, I'll try my hardest to turn this around for good

For my family
All that's left of me
