[Verse 1]
I walk back home
You're all alone
The ivy's grown
It's Christmas eve
I brought some wine
It tastes like shite
But it provides
The spark we need
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, let's fight
Don't be polite
You know the knife
That cuts me deep
You treat me tough
We call it love
But it's your blood
I'm gonna bleed
[Chorus]
Emm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I draw a crowd
I sing so loud
To make you proud
But you don't see
I show my flaws
The crowd applauds
But I'm not sure
It's meant for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I have become
My father's son
You always wanted
Me to be
I treat you tough
We call it love
But it's my blood
You're gonna bleed
[Chorus]
Emm-mm-mm
[Outro]
Now I'm all grown up
And I'm all tough
Is it your love that I still need?
'Causе it's your blood
It's your blood
It's your blood
That I still bleed
