Lyrics FAMILY TREE - RØRY

I've been waiting on that email, where you apologise
And for invitations to family occasions, but they don't arrive
I talk about you with my therapist, and say you're just misunderstood
She said I've had you on a pedestal since I was 8 years old
And it don't do me no good

Year by year it fucks me up
Carrying dead wood, carrying us

I'll tear down this family tree
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
And watch as it falls to the ground
Take a chainsaw to the branches, to the source of all my sadness
Cut, cut, cut it down
Down, down

(Just want you to know that I love you)
(I'm gonna cry again, um)

If you think I wanna do this, then god you got it wrong
But I gotta be ruthless digging up the roots 'til all of you is gone
I never thought we'd be that family that didn't speak for 20 years
I'll see you at the funeral for somebody we both knew, act like it ain't weird, ohh

I'll tear down this family tree
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
And watch as it falls to the ground
Take a chainsaw to the branches, to the source of all my sadness
Cut, cut, cut it down
Down, down

Down, d-d-down, d-down, d-down, down, down
Down, d-d-down, d-down, I gotta cut it down, down
I gotta cut it down, down, oh
Down, d-d-down, d-down, d-down, down, down
Down, d-d-down, d-down, I gotta cut it down, down
I gotta cut it down, down, oh

So don't reach out, don't contact me
It's taken every part of me to cut cut cut you out
You will never hurt me now

Take a chainsaw to the branches, to the source of all my sadness
Cut, cut, cut it down
Down, down, down (down, d-d-down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
I gotta cut you out (down, d-d-down, d-down, I gotta cut it down, down)
I gotta cut you down
So you'll never hurt me now
Down, down
