bloodstream

Maybe I was too young to fully understand

That's why I never healed from it healthy

Why I never trusted the man

You gotta love all that you have and I'll take that to my grave

Cause soon you'll open up your eyes and it'll all be gone one day

And I'm sitting here convincing you to pick up the phone and call

I am my father's daughter but I'm nothing like him at all

I hear him in the way I speak

Or when I look in the mirror

The anger's grown in me it shows

Could it be any clearer

That I'm like him cause he made me the way I am when we're fighting

And all I need is somebody

And I'm crying on my mama's floor

Why don't you want this anymore?

And I'm craving you to change for me

You're saying "I hear you", and "I love you", "But my heart it hurts for you"

And "I just cannot give you what you need"

Am I too much? Am I enough

Cause you said you wouldn't give up

Now I'm numb on my knees

Praying to God you talk to me

Wondering what it takes for you to stay

Off my mind and far out of my bloodstream

You never laid your hands on me

And that's something that I'm grateful for

But I should've known that you'd gone mad

When I saw the way you'd punch your doors

And I don't regret loving you

'Cause I know that you needed it

But the way you treated me

Made me feel like a little kid

Something deep inside of me tells me that you're not better now

And I'm sorry that I couldn't help

But I'm so glad I made it out

And I'm crying on my mama's floor

Why don't you want this anymore?

And I'm craving you to change for me

You're saying "I hear you", and "I love you", "My heart it hurts for you"

And "I just cannot give you what you need"

Am I too much? am i enough

'Cause you said you wouldn't give up

Now I'm numb on my knees

Praying to God you talk to me

Wondering what it takes for you to stay

Off my mind and far out of my bloodstream
