bloodstream

Well, maybe I was too young to fully understand
That's why I never heard from L-T
That's why I never trusted the man
You gotta love all that you have
And I'll say that to my grave
'Cause soon you'll open up your eyes
And it'll all be gone one day

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
Not hearing me, the way I speak
Or when I look in the mirror
The anger's growing in me
It shows, could it be any clearer?

That I'm like him
'Cause he made me
The way I am
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
My heart, it hurts for you
And I just cannot give you what you need
Am I too much of mine now?
'Cause you said you wouldn't give up
Now, I'm on my knees
Praying to God you'd talk to me
Wondering what it takes for you to stay
Off my mind and fall right out of my bloodstream
