Bloodline

[Verse 1]
You're getting older now, I see the lines around your smile
I see what's coming 'round the corner and that's a lot for an only child
'Cause I don't know yet if I want kids of my own
But I know that if I don't, it ends with me

[Pre-Chorus]
If I had a sister or a brother
We could share the burden with each other

[Chorus]
'Cause one day you'll be gone then I'll be gone too
Don't know if I'll carry it on, oh, but someday if I do
Then our family name, it won't just be mine
And I'll see your face when I'm looking in their eyes
But that's only if I carry on your bloodline

[Verse 2]
I'm only twenty-three, I've got my whole life left to live
I know I shouldn't think like this but I can't help it
You were forty-three when you had me
You took your time but that took mine
And soon you'll leave then it's just me
Left on the family tree

[Chorus]
One day you'll be gone then I'll be gone too
Don't know if I'll carry it on, oh, but someday if I do
Then our family name, it won't just be mine
And I'll see your face when I'm looking in their eyes
But that's only if I carry on your bloodline

[Outro]
One day you'll be gone and then I'll be gone too
If I don't carry it on there'll be nothing left of you
And it's a heavy weight that I feel all the time
Not having a way to remember you by
If I don't carry on your bloodline
