You don’t hold back
And you don’t play nice
You throw me off track
And you don’t think twice
I try and I try
To measure up
Oh, but I
I’m too much or not enough
Blood, you’re the jury and judge
The tie that binds, pushes and shoves
Forgives and forgets, bonds and cements
A counterfeit love
Blood, merciless flood
Draggin’ my name through the mud
God awful things swept under the rug
For blood
You go too far
And you get too close
And you hide your scars
When you put on your show
There’s nowhere to run
You run through my veins
And I hold my tongue, swallow my pride
And stay
Blood, you’re the jury and judge
The tie that binds, pushes and shoves
Forgives and forgets, bonds and cements
A counterfeit love
Blood, merciless flood
Draggin’ my name through the mud
God awful things swept under the rug
For blood
