You're getting older now, I see the lines around your smile
I see what's coming round the corner, and that's a lot for an only child
'Cause I don't know yet if I want kids of my own
But I know that if I don't, it ends with me
If I had a sister or a brother
We could share the burden with each other
'Cause one day you'll be gone, then I'll be gone too
Don't know if I'll carry it on, oh, but someday if I do
Then our family name, it won't just be mine
And I'll see your face when I'm looking in their eyes
But that's only if I carry on your bloodline
I'm only 23, I've got my whole life left to live
I know I shouldn't think like this, but I can't help it
You were 43 when you had me
You took your time but that took mine
And soon you'll leave, then it's just me
Left on the family tree
One day you'll be gone, then I'll be gone too
Don't know if I'll carry it on, oh, but someday if I do
Then our family name, it won't just be mine
And I'll see your face when I'm looking in their eyes
But that's only if I carry on your bloodline
One day you'll be gone, and then I'll be gone too
If I don't carry it on, there'll be nothing left of you
And it's a heavy weight that I feel all the time
Not having a way to remember you by
If I don't carry on your bloodline
