Your blood is my blood and pours and runs deep
Knowing you're mine scares the hell outta 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 bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's 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 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 bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's 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 bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
