Mother

Blood is thicker than water
That's just how I was raised
Passed from daughter to daughter
That's how the game was played

Blood is thicker than water
That's how I lived my life
But once my heart was slaughtered
It never felt alright

Blood is thicker than water
That's what my mother said
But loving gets to be harder
Once all your blood has bled

Blood is thicker than water
She said it was an oath
But someone must have mistaught her
For love is thicker than both
