You don't hold back
And you don't play nice
You throw me off track
You don't think twice
I try and I try
To measure up
Oh, but 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
You hide your scars
When you put on your show
There's nowhere to run
You run through my veins
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
