It's way too easy to get personal around here.

And why does it always seem that when it gets to the point where

We're too involved,
It's already too late to back off, and stay away?

The whole thing starts with Liv, ironically, but it isn't really her fault,

And I shouldn't have gone at Fin,

But I did anyway, 'cause he pissed me off.


Then again, I guess it goes both ways,

I say something about his kid, he says something about one of mine.

Too much tension in the squad room right now,

But then, that's just the way it's been lately, and

Who am I to say anything, 'cause, hey,

I'm the one causing it in the first place,

Or so I get told later on, but I ignore it, 'cause I don't want to hear it.


Maybe that's my problem…

Wait a minute, maybe? That is the problem.

Can't do this if I don't know myself, and the sad thing is that

I used to, but now I don't anymore, and it's bothering me,

Because I'd love to be able to figure it out, but

This case isn't exactly helping,

And neither is this issue with Fin. It needs to go somewhere.


But it won't, because lately, things like this…

They linger.

And why is it that stuff you didn't know

Always seems to come out when you least expect it,

Like now?

I think it's thrown us all for a loop,

'Cause it's definitely one of those things we weren't looking for.


I'd make some kind of comment about family secrets,

If I didn't know that all of us have 'em, including me,

And none of us want the others to know.

It's funny, 'cause usually, we can tell each other anything,

But things have changed, a lot, too much,

And it doesn't feel like that anymore, which bothers me,

Because sometimes those family things are the ones that bring you down.
