ok, i'm gonna totally go out on a limb here, but this is wat i think:
I see the happy the family tree (sees his family tree, before and after his generation)
It sways so easily (metaphorically makes the tree real)
We're smiling all the time (All generations are happy)
This world just isn't mine (except him)
We watch it burn (his family is tearing apart)
And we never learn (they won't stop breaking apart)
This can't be what you're waiting for (his wife can't just be waiting for them to break up)
Staring into the sun (being binded)
We eat our young (they're bringing their problems to their kids and ruining their lives)
This can't be what you're waiting for (bad kids can't be what she wants)
Just take it easy on yourself (consoling her after telling her this)
Forget all the stupid things we say (trying to make up)
I know you beat up on yourself (he knows she blames herself for it all)
I know it's in your blood (her side of the family blames itself for a lot)
You say what no one understands (she tries to explain, but nobody understands)
The seeds are in your hands (it's all up to her now, in her opinion)
The branches break your bones (it's too much for her to do it by herself)
I can't just leave you alone (he decides to help)
And watch you squirm (he'd feel bad)
And I can't bring myself to look (he thinks he's failing)
I rip the pages from the book (so he takes a fit over it)
And watch it burn (and watches wat happens once he does, tearing the family apart again..)
