Justina Clear - Hereditary Lyrics

My father was a fire cracker
Colorful but burned if you got too close
Full of life but also full of ghosts
I always was a daddy's girl
Even when his voice began to raise
And I couldn't stop my hands from shaking
Maybe that's why I always played with fire

Daddy issues
Can't outrun you
I don't know who I can trust because
The only love I've felt made me hurt
Daddy issues
I still miss you
Even though deep down I know it's better
I'm not bitter
But I'm left with

These days you can find me laid up
In bed with any man who takes up space
So my heart is full for at least one day
But I'm empty by the drive home
Said I'd never love someone
With a darkness like my daddy had
But too much light on me just burns my skin
His ghosts have become my own

Daddy issues
Can't outrun you
I don't know who I can trust because
The only love I've felt made me hurt
Daddy issues
I still miss you
Even though deep down I know it's better
I'm not bitter
But I'm left with these daddy issues

Pain is hereditary
I carry his with me
Pain is hereditary
I carry it all with me
