Take that pain, pass it down, hang photos on the wall
Momma said: Your dad's to blame, but that's his daddy's fault
Oh-oh, there's no one left to call
You say you're counting down the days till you make your escape
But you're afraid you can't outrun what's running through your veins
Oh-oh, you're carrying the weight

In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won't let you walk alone

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And, if you got tomorrow, then you still got time
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline

Oh, I won't pretend that I know half the hell you see (yeah)
Just know that don't mean there's something near death to repeat
Oh-oh, you're stronger than you think
I know it has to end, but don't it have to start?
You can pack your bags, and I'll meet you in your car
Oh-oh, stronger than you think

In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won't let you walk alone

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And, if you got tomorrow, then you still got time
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline

The storm keeps on raging, but don't you forget
God's not done with you yet
It feels like you're losing that war in your head
Just know this isn't the end

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline (in your bloodline)
Oh, we got each other
And, if you got tomorrow, then you still got time (you still got time)
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
