Maybe it's Genetic

Sometimes I wonder if someday you'll seep out of me

If I'll wake up one morning unable to get out of bed

I think about it when I think about drugs and cigarettes and Diet Coke

I think about it when the sadness won't leave my head

Cuz maybe it's genetic, and I'll be losing my mind,

Cuz there's something in my DNA that's being unkind

So don't you try to love me, cuz it ain't worth your time

Might be my mother's girl and once I've seen the world, I'll stop running and I'll lose my Mind

Sometimes I wonder if you did it, without warning this time

And every time I see his name on my phone, I think you must be dead

I've been grieving for a long long time, and mom I can't decide

If when you're gone I'll finally feel free, or just angry instead

Cuz maybe it's genetic

Sometimes I wonder if I push all the good ones away

Like I'd rather keep it all in my head than mess up somebody's life

I think about it when I think about kids, and what it really means to love

I'm scared of falling behind, all alone, trying to make everything right

Cuz maybe it's genetic and I'll be losing my mind

Cuz there's something in my DNA that makes me unkind

So don't you try to love me, cuz it ain't worth your time

Might be my mother's girl and once I've seen the world, I'll stop running and I'll lose my Mind
