[Verse 1]
Yeah… people always say
Your family’s supposed to protect you
I kept that hope in my chest
Like a photo folded in blue
I was looking for love
Trying to build a home
Never thought my own blood
Would leave me all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the door unlocked
Kept the lights on low
Thought if I loved hard enough
That would make it home
But hands that raised me up
Turned into the fall
Now I’m standing in the wreck
Trying not to call
[Chorus]
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) who do you trust?
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) it hurt like love
I gave my heart
You gave me scars
Broken by blood, broken by blood
You know who you are
[Verse 2]
I remember the table
The plates and the quiet
Smiles sharp as glass
And the words that started riots
I was still just a kid
Trying to earn a place
You made me beg for peace
In my own damn space
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the door unlocked
Kept the lights on low
Thought if I loved hard enough
That would make it home
But hands that raised me up
Turned into the fall
Now I’m standing in the wreck
Trying not to call
[Chorus]
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) who do you trust?
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) it hurt like love
I gave my heart
You gave me scars
Broken by blood, broken by blood
You know who you are
[Bridge]
Maybe healing starts
When I stop asking why
Maybe I can build
Where the hurt can’t lie
I won’t wear your name
Like a chain on my soul
I can lose the house
And still keep control
[Final Chorus]
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) who do you trust?
Broken by blood, broken by blood
(oooh) it hurt like love
I gave my heart
You gave me scars
Broken by blood, broken by blood
I’m still here, I’m still hard
[Outro]
Yeah… people always say
Your family’s supposed to protect you
But I found my own way out
And I’m learning what love can do
