"Blood (Stripped)" lyrics

You don't hold back and you don't play nice
You throw me off track, you don't think twice
I try and I try to measure up
Oh, but I'm too much or not enough

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

You go too far and you get too close
You hide your scars when you put on your show
There's nowhere to run, you run through my veins
I hold my tongue, swallow my pride
And stay

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