How much of my mother has my mother left in me
How much of my love will be insane to some degree
What about this feeling that I'm never good enough
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood
How much of my father am I destined to become
Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone
Will I let this woman kill me
Or do away with jealous love
Will it wash out in the water
Or is it always in the blood
I can feel the love I want
I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted
Could I rise above the flood
Will it wash out in the water
Or is it always in the blood
How much like my brothers do my brothers wanna be
Does a broken home become another broken family
Or will we be there for each other like nobody ever could
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
I can feel the love I want
I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted
Could I rise above the flood
Will it wash out in the water
Or is it always in the blood
I can feel the love I want
I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted
Could I rise above the flood
Will it wash out in the water
Or is it always in the blood
Oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh
