My sister's doin' her best
But every time her dad gets dressed, her mama goes to smoke a cigarette
It's kinda hard to pretend
It isn't valid 'cause what happens if he has a heart attack again
While he's balancin' checks?
To put some food up on the table, keep the family goin' stable
And I'm takin' a breath
Keepin' peace and watchin' cable, gonna get out when I'm able

Oh, that was the show
I didn't know
That when you grow up in a home
Where every door's closed
You feel so alone

I'm just doin' the best I can
They were doin' their best back then
And I know it's not okay, but in a way, I understand
'Cause I'm doin' the best I can
Family, man

I really don't remember much before the age of ten
My dog Dodger and a Beatles poster over my bed
If every day was Disney and I never found the Internet
Then maybe I'd be doin' better up in my head
Sortin' through these pictures and the facts from their opinions
When it's time to take advice and when it's time to be dismissive
My dad would blame his trauma when he asked to be forgiven
When you're used to gettin' yelled at, it's hard to learn to listen

Oh, that was the show
The curtains have closed
But I know I'm not alone

I'm just doin' the best I can
They were doin' their best back then
And I know it's not okay, but in a way, I understand
'Cause I'm doin' the best I can
Family, man

Now they're movin' to Michigan
Gives me somethin' to miss again
And I can feel it in the rain
While I'm flyin' to Japan
And my sister's in LA
Tryin' to figure out a plan
We didn't cause the pain
But the healing's in our hands
And we're doin' the best we can

Yeah, we're doin' the best we can
Family, man
Family, man
