Your blood is my blood and poison runs deep
Knowing your mind scares the hell out of me
Cause hurt is a sickness and trauma is too
And I'd rather die than to pass it to you
Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
I hope to God you don't get my addictions
Don't deal with my demons, make my decisions
Yeah, I pray every day I can love you enough
I hope the apple falls far from the tree
And the sins of the father stop right here with me
Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pass down
And when you make mistakes on your own
I hope that you know
You'll never go through it alone
Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
I pray every day I can love you enough
Won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
