[Verse 1]
Family at the table, but the air feel cold
Smiles in the photo, but the truth get told
Love in one hand, and a grudge in the other
Same last name, still we don't cover each other
Mama got tears when the plates go round
Daddy got pride and he won't sit down
Sister keep the news in a tight little bag
Brother lost faith when the whole thing dragged
Friends at the door with the wrong-time vibe
Half say “stay,” half say “choose a side”
Everybody close till the hard talk starts
Then the room split fast like a deck of cards
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' hold it down
When the whole house shakes and the walls cave out
Tell me who gon' stay the same
When the same old pain keep callin' your name
[Chorus]
All together, then we split
(All together)
Same fire, different hit
(All together)
Family, love, hate, friend
We tear it down, then build again
[Verse 2]
I seen best friends turn into strangers quick
One wrong text and the whole thing switched
One side talk, one side locked
One side healed, one side not
At the cookout, everybody laugh too loud
But the silence sits low in the middle of the crowd
Auntie say “pray,” cousin say “leave”
Somebody wear guilt on a sleeve
We pass blame like a hot potato
Then act surprised when the trust get low
But I still see hope in the mess we made
If we face the truth, maybe love don't fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' hold it down
When the whole house shakes and the walls cave out
Tell me who gon' stay the same
When the same old pain keep callin' your name
[Chorus]
All together, then we split
(All together)
Same fire, different hit
(All together)
Family, love, hate, friend
We tear it down, then build again
[Bridge]
I don't want a perfect frame
I want your hand when you say my name
I don't want a pretty lie
I want the truth before the goodbye
If we broke, then let's be broke right
Face to face in the same room tonight
[Chorus]
All together, then we split
(All together)
Same fire, different hit
(All together)
Family, love, hate, friend
We tear it down, then build again
