Matthew West - Family Tree Lyrics
You didn't ask for this
Nobody ever would
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
It's your sad reality
It's your messed up family tree
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
I have a dream for you
It's better than where you've been
It's bigger than your imagination
You're gonna find real love
And you're gonna hold your kids
You'll change the course of generations
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
Cause you're my child
You're my chosen
You are loved
You are loved
And I will restore
All that was broken
You are loved
You are loved
And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are
You are
Ooh, this will be your legacy
This will be your destiny
Yesterday did not define you
Ooh, this will be your legacy
This will be your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now

Matthew West Family Tree Comments
No vampire brought me here God did and Im going back to him when my Life is over here
Just watched Tyler leave AGAIN last night after watching Vampire Diaries. Wish this song was in every episode!
here cuz of vampire diaries
It sounds like the script i was so confused 😅
i lvthis song
love his song
Zuko of ATLA brought me here.....
this song reminds me of demon when he was going to die in season 3 , I just love this song and the show !
Vampire FUCKIN diaries! This song really hits lmao
The Vampire Diaries brought m here and tyler is my favorite character tyler squad where are you
I had no clue this was a Christian song but I’m not mad lol
Violet Budikson
Hope Mikaelson
Tvd’s rewatch brought me here
Anyone else here for vampire diaries
I don't know why this showed up in my recommended, but I really needed this right now.
I was adopted at birth and have gone my whole life without ever really knowing my biological family. Only that I had siblings and a few other minor things that were passed onto me by my biological mother. Well now, after all these years I've found my biological father, and I want to reach out sometime soon.
I've been so hesitant to reach out, afraid of things going bad. But this song is what I really needed. To tell me it was going to be okay no matter what happens. I've lived my whole life without any of them, so it can't really get much worse if they don't want me in their lives. Yeah it'll probably hurt. But it's not like I can really lose something I never had, right? If anything, things can only stay the same or be gained if I give this a shot.
Amen,in Jesus name
This song makes me cry 😭 after Tyler left
😢Diarios de vampiros😍💔2019
When Jermey was kissing Binni
Anyone rewatching TVD in 2019? This brings back so much memories! In love with TVD so much! 😢❤
It's like the song was written especially for Tyler only....each and every line.... It's so relatable 😭😭
It’s like this song was made for Tyler ❤️
If you focus on the meaning of the words, you will see that they represent the story of Klaus Mikealson in an amazing form. It explains the life of Klaus exactly as it was
the vampire diaries brought me here too. I'm binge-watching this again. this is such a good show.
No Tyler don't leave!!!!! You and Caroline are made for eachother!😭 This song goes out to Tyler Lockwood - The Vampire Diaries.
Good Job you got me in the feels😂
Vampire dairies brought me here this song reminds me of Tyler Lockwood 😥😭
Sam winchester edit took me here
Tyler brought me here
Amazing to listen😍
Caroline 😍
WWE Kane Undertaker tribute
2019 #vampire_diaries
Who is here because of Vampires Diaries ? Season 2 ep 14, Tyler left 😭❤️
I listened to this song before watching TVD, TO and Legacies.....but this song totally is suited for Tyler and in my opinion Hope, anyone else thinks that?
Song name
Ok but everyone came here from TVd
This song make me think of family always and forever
2019 .. anyone ?
THIS RELATES TO BETTY COOPER!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thank You
Vampire diaries season 2 episode 14.So.much to reflect .love love Vampire Diaries

Glad I found this I can relate.... 😪 it hurts and I'm strong enough to break the chains I never want my family and kids to suffer. I know Im strong ! God is good 🙏🙌👏
2019❤️
TVD feels!!
This song is meant for Klaus Mikaelson! He broke from Michaels (his fathers) shadow. The edit on my channel shows that Michael didn't break him and he is not is not at all a bad guy! Check the edit out on my page.
I wish this was true. But you left... You were my only who understands.... Who cared... I miss you!
TVD 💕
STELENA
This song sound like Betty Cooper from Riverdale!
This song is literally meant for Hope Mikaelson
vampire diaries brought me hear lol 🙂
how true
best song every
Still here for The Vampire Diaries 😂😂😂 I'm watching the S3, this show is really something else, love it always and forever♥️ #Everlasting
This song is so amazing
Anyone else think Tyler or Klaus and Caroline make more sense than Stephan and Caroline?
Came here from a OUAT vid wow took forever to find it
VD fan ....!
Vampire Diaries 2018?!
I watched the Vamp diaries Entire Series 5 times over and this is definitely still one of my Songs
Crazy Horse same
Vampire Diaries brought me here, the feels
Vampire diaries:))
OMG I had no idea people came from the vampire diaries too lol
I came here because of The Vampire Diaries. I've seen the show in its entirety like 3 times now. And every time Tyler leaves with Jules I get a little heartbroken, even though I know for a fact that he will be back. Spoiler alert, it also really sucks that he dies in the end, I never wanted that for him.
Kaela Minadeo when Tyler died I think my heart broke a little because no, I wasn’t the BIGGEST fan of Tyler but he was such a crucial part of the show and when he leaves I just can’t comprehend the fact that he leaves for so long and then comes back to a mess of Klaus( I LOVE KLAUS BUT NOT IN TVD) I think Tyler was an amazing Character but I mean at least Stefan can bug him now
I'm a total fan of Klaroline not going to lie, but I do feel that the relationship between Tyler and Caroline was definitely crucial. Not only for the characters but for the story line as well. I also kind of feel like it was some sort of closure knowing that it was Damon that killed Tyler, but I also feel like it wasn't necessary. I just have a lot of mixed emotions for that scene.
just watched the episode tyler left town and this music plays while he confesses matt he fell for caroline and then he goes to see her one last time before leaving and the tears just wont stop.
Yeah it wasn’t that deep sugar plum
stuinn huegy Tyler sucks haha
Vampire diaries brought me here! Aww when Jeremy and Bonnie kiss
2018 and I'm binge watching every season of The Vampire Diaries and found this song again
i got this from vampire diaries and i absolutely love it
This song fits me perfect. I grew up in a dysfunction family. This song gives me hope that I can break the chain and that I don't have to live like my parents did
love tvd
This song helps so much
Loved loved FAMILY TREE
great work. Thank You!
Vamp diaries brought meeeeee
so, ain't alone here.. Vampire diaries do have the power to do the magic!!
Matthew
Powerful music. What a message.
May God bless you with more of the truth in music
How come when I try getting God out of life and the I’m watching the vampire dairies I hear I a Christian singer and is God trying to tell me he doesn’t want me to give up on him yet. I don’t know anymore. I wanna be down with God, I don’t wanna be a Child of God anymore, I’ve been threw so much shit with God
God won't ever give up on you. I pray that you find your way back to Him. He is waiting for you with arms wide open ❤🙏🏼
All these comments about vampire diaries, I didn't know they put Christian music in mainstream tv shows. Kinda makes me happy
#vampirediraies
TVD ❤🇧🇷
“Yesterday does not define you” no I’m pretty sure it does. Every action, word, and thought you’ve had in your life up until this point define who you are as a person.
While I´m here while rewatching Vampire Diaries...this song reminds me so much of Meredith Grey. And Wynonna Earp
Heard this in vamp diaries and had to find it
tvd brought me here
just watched that episode in The Vampire Diaries and was like "that sounds like Matthew West is it Matthew West it's gotta be Matthew West" and IT WAS
It's your sad reality
It's your messed up family tree
And now you're left with all these questions
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
I have a dream for you
It's better than where you've been
It's bigger than your imagination
You're gonna find real love
And you're gonna hold your kids
You'll change the course of generations
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
Cause you're my child
You're my chosen
You are loved
You are loved
And I will restore
All that was broken
You are loved
You are loved
And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are
You are
