Family Ties

He takes the blame for his family's pain
It's not your fault son I hear them say
And what does he have now but broken dreams?
And only promises that they'll never keep

Can't you see, this boy is me?
Can't you see, this boy is me?

The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear
The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear

He takes the blame for his family's pain
It's not your fault son I hear them say
And what does he have now but broken dreams?
And there is no chance they will ever be together again

Can't you see, this boy is me?
Can't you see, this boy is me?

The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear
The children are crying out, "Who's to blame for this?"
The children are crying out, "You're the one to blame"
