Blood Runs Deep

Blood runs deep
_________________

They say that blood runs deep
Well, I managed to get mine out
Phenomenally I was able to find a spout
I let it leak just for you as I finally went to sleep

You were never ever here for me
And you never shed a tear for me
Do you remember me, ‘cause I remember you
Oh the memories, and what you put me through

Did you know, I constantly ask myself
Did I ever have a brother
Would I ever get another
Just where the hell did my first one go

And that empty room
Would be flooded soon
I wonder why my fantasies never came true
Everyone that slept there was never you

All of the letters must have just went to the wrong address
Well, lets hear your best excuses for me staining my mattress
They’re so overused, it’s hard to think of a new one for each letter
Post office exploded, mailman was murdered, tell me which one’s better

They say that blood runs deep
Well, I managed to get mine out
Phenomenally I was able to find a spout
I let it leak just for you as I finally went to sleep

Did you ever hear me calling out for you at the night sky
But you never responded, and I would just lay on the lawn
I guess I believe in miracles, cause it’s one that I’ve survived
And you’re not the only one who was pronounced long gone

So then I guess it’s just me against the world
As it all races vertically past my eyes in a blur

They say that blood runs deep
Well, I managed to get mine out
Phenomenally I was able to find a spout
I let it leak just for you as I finally went to sleep
