Blood and water by The Blue Bottles

May 1

Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water

Yet both are the same if you earn her trust.

I am still her daughter
I still love my father
The truth couldn't be farther

And I'll still be here when the fences rust.

My love is thicker than water
My love is stronger than blood
My love could never be stronger

I am the last handprint you'll see in the dust.

People often confuse that saying
Blood runs thicker than water.
Water means bonds shared by the womb.
Blood is bond shared by battles through life.
