Family Jesse Ruben I am only nine years old And I don't like what I hear My father on my left My sister on the steps My mother in tears So this is what it looks like when there's nowhere to hide This is what it looks like when a family divides Mother, I see the way you're standing Mother, please don't feel abandoned Mother, I've watched you fall apart So let us in, let down your guard Cause loving you has never been hard And I am almost seventeen And I'm not sure how to act We're staring at the stone And we're sitting in rows And wearing all black So this is what it looks like when you can't say goodbye This is what it looks like when my grandmother cries Father, I see the way you're standing Father, please don't feel abandoned Father, I've watched you fall apart So let us in, let down your guard Cause loving you has never been hard Today we are both twenty-three Don't ever think I don't care For all of my boring childhood stories You were always there So this is what it looks like to be out on our own This is what it looks like when siblings are close Sister, I see the way you're standing Sister, please don't feel abandoned Sister, I've watched you fall apart So let us in, let down your guard Cause loving you has never been hard
