She was feeling yuletide-burn
'Cause her family was wearing on her nerves
She was tired of fighting and feeling frustrated
Finding it hard to relate to those of whom she was related
You know we all sometimes say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
Generation to generation, it gets passed on
And then, one day those who were passing, well, they passed on
Pulling back the covers
Her heart will start to shudder when she realizes how just deep it all went
Trying to forgive what was said, but was never really meant
Well, you know we all sometimes say things we don't mean
But that don't mean we're not still family
Pull out of the shadows and find out that eventually
It's all bad, it's all good baby, can't you see?
That we all, well we all, well we all are still family
I was there from the moment that you were born
And I've loved you since I heard your first cries
And I know we won't always be getting along
But I promise you that I will always try
You know we all sometimes say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
You know we all sometimes say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
Oh, you know we all sometimes say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
