[Verse 1]
I was ten when I caught her crying in the closet
And she had nowhere to run
Right then and there I closed my eyes and I made a promise
To never be the broken one
[Pre-Chorus]
I am overcorrecting, burning all the bridges that I cross
When you're least expecting, I light the matches, sorry for your loss
[Chorus]
And honestly
I can't help it, you can't help me
It's hereditary
[Verse 2]
It's in my bones, I don't know how to fix my karma
Keep getting in my own way
You say I'm strange, well, gee, thanks, got it from my trauma
Got it in every shade
[Pre-Chorus]
The dots are all connecting, a vicious cycle that I'm circlin'
I should be repenting, but I admit I love to watch you spin
[Chorus]
And honestly
I can't help it, you can't help me
It's hereditary (Fuck)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hereditary
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I know it's scary
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But it's hereditary
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
Ah-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
It's hereditary
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
It's hereditary
La-la-la-la-la-la (Hereditary), la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(I know it's scary)
La-la-la-la-la-la (But it's hereditary), la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
