[Verse 1]

Your blood is my blood and poison 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

[Chorus]

'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

My pain to bury, not yours to feel

I pray every day I can love you enough

So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up

[Verse 2]

I hope to God you don't get my addictions

Don't deal with my demons or make my decisions

Yeah, I hope the apple falls far from the tree

And the sins of the father stop right here with me

[Chorus]

'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

My pain to bury, not yours to feel

I pray every day I can love you enough

So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up

[Bridge]

Won't be yours to pass down

And whеn you make mistakes on your own

I hope that you know

You'll nеver go through it alone

[Chorus]

'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

My pain to bury, not yours to feel

I pray every day I can love you enough

So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up

[Outro]

Won't be yours to pick up

Won't be yours to pick up
