Blood (Stripped)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Blood you're the jury and judge
The tie that binds
And pushes and shoves
Forgives and forgets
Bonds and cements
A counterfeit love
Blood, merciless flood
Draggin' my name through the mud
And [] awful things swept under the rug
For blood

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Blood you're the jury and judge
The tie that binds
And pushes and shoves
Forgives and forgets
Bonds and cements
A counterfeit love
Blood, merciless flood
Draggin' my name through the mud
And [] awful things swept under the rug
For blood
