Blood Ties
Verse One
I grew up to believe blood ties couldn’t be severed
So how did we break the bonds that used to keep us tethered?
Pre-Chorus
You can waste time wishing I was like my sister
I can waste mine wishing you were like my mum
We can hope and pray for miracles
We’re still who we’ve become
Chorus
Scarred by the ones I was taught to love
When I was just a child
There’s no haven here, no sanctuary
I’m safer in the wild
Verse Two
My grandmother told me blood ties couldn't be severed
But she died in a family that doesn't stand together
Pre-Chorus
You can waste time wishing I was like my sister
I can waste mine wishing you were like my mum
We can hope and pray for miracles
We’re still who we’ve become
Chorus
Scarred by the ones I was taught to love
When I was just a child
There’s no haven here, no sanctuary
I’m safer in the wild
Bridge
I don’t understand how my blood runs through your veins
And also stains your hands
I don’t have the strength to fight for you
I’m too young to die trying to
I’ve been down this road before
I don’t go here anymore
Chorus
Scarred by the ones I was taught to love
When I was just a child
There’s no haven here, no sanctuary
I’m safer in the wild
Ending
I grew up to believe blood ties couldn’t be severed
So how did we break the bonds that used to keep us tethered?
