Family Ties

[Verse 1: Mykki Blanco]
I heard about your father
I heard he wasn't doing so well
Surprised you even bothered
He's always got a story to tell
Let's not play the victim
Stick it to me oh so good
It's fiction like a sitcom
You've tried everything I know you could

[Chorus: Mykki Blanco]
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
Now all you see is problems
You complain enough, it just gets old
You think you won't resolve them
I know you tried to let things go
I'm here to fix everything, tried to save everything
Keep it up, don't ever fall
I don't wanna break, but I don't wanna fake
It's important to me that you know

[Chorus: Mykki Blanco & Michel Stipe]
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Mykki Blanco]
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck
'Cause I hate to see you solo
I hate to see you all fucked up
I hate to see you so numb
His family ties tend to suck
