My Blood

You came home crying from school today Walked past me trying to hide the tears there on your face It's hard for me to explain How humans find the pleasure of causing people pain But sometimes there's more to the story And we don't know what's going on in That home, behind closed doors Maybe there is something wrong So be brave, my little one I know you can be strong 'Cause you are just like your mom Say my name When you're hurting, darling I'll take the demons away But you know there will come a day When I won't be there, but I know that you'll be okay 'Cause you are my blood You're my blood Oh, I was 22 years old My mother told me that you learn more as you go But I've spent many nights alone Do I need more for me to make this house a home? 'Cause sometimes there's more to the story And they don't know what's going on My life behind closed doors Maybe there is nothing wrong And I will keep holding on I know I can be strong 'Cause I am just like my mom And she told me, "Say my name When you're hurting, darling I'll take the demons away But you know there will come a day When I won't be there, but I know that you'll be okay 'Cause you are my blood" (My blood, my blood My blood) you're my blood (My blood, my blood My blood) you're my blood So say my name When you're hurting, darling I'll take the demons away But you know there will come a day When I won't be there, but I know that you'll be okay 'Cause you are my blood (My blood) (My blood) my blood, you're my (My blood) yeah, you're my blood, you're my blood (My blood, my blood) ooh-ooh (My blood) you're my blood
