Blood From a Stone

I was a golden child

Everything I ever did was to make you smile

When I thought I'd made you proud

You just liked the way I performed for a crowd

'Cause it made you look good, and that made you happy

But if I let you down, you wouldn't look at me

It's taken me 35 years to learn

Some bridges are better off burned

I've been forgivin' you most of my life

Believin' that that's what love is

Yeah, I tried to find any truth in your lies

But the truth is you're just too selfish

Thought bein' your daughter

Was thicker than water

But you saw me drownin' and you let me go

So mama, I'm done tryin' to get blood from a stone

Sometimes I wanna make you hurt

Give you a taste of your bitter words

But then I'd be just like you

And I'm not that cold

Just done doin' what I'm told, yeah

I've been forgivin' you most of my life

Believin' that that's what love is

Yeah, I tried to find any truth in your lies

But the truth is you're just too selfish

Thought bein' your daughter

Was thicker than water

But you saw me drownin' and you let me go

So mama, I'm done tryin' to get blood from a stone

Yeah, I'm done tryin' to get blood from a stone

I wish I could say that it could be different

But you taught me love comes with conditions

It's taken me 35 years to learn

Some bridges are better off burned
