No Family - By Carroll Bryant

NO FAMILY - By Carroll Bryant 

Ever since I was born

I've been so deeply, deeply torn

Between the two sides

Love and hate inside of me

Each to battle for that victory 

And I, living with blind eyes

I could hear the soul inside of me

Scream

Yearning for love that only comes

From a family

All the years of growing up 

Falling for their jokes and stuff

Just wishing they wouldn't leave 

Touch and go and it got messed up

Did they really get enough

They got enough of me 

I could feel the heart inside of me 

Scream

Yearning for the table scraps

From my family

No trust 

(It got lost)

No respect 

(That's the cost)

Just a lonely love 

Nothing there 

No family

Not much 

Not a chance

Just a lonely love

Nothing here

No family

I keep on reaching out 

In the dead of the night

In the middle of a bad dream

I see a darkness all around me 

I feel the darkness inside of me 

No family

Ever since I became a man 

I fight so hard to understand

Why they left me 

Laughing lies and smiles with tears

Painting over all of my childhood fears

Then they regret me 

I could hear the soul inside of me

Scream

Yearning for love that only comes

From a family

 

No trust 

(It got lost)

No respect 

(That's the cost)

Just a lonely love 

Nothing there 

No family

Not much 

Not a chance

Just a lonely love

Nothing here

No family

I could feel the heart inside of me 

Scream

Yearning for the table scraps

From my family
