lyrics

They say we came from the same place
That you have our mother’s eyes and I have her voice
But my eyes are just like yours and your voice is just like hers
We’re tied up and not by choice
When you yell you know I’m not like you
I know that our blood is like glue
It binds us, It binds us

All those crimes and misdemeanors
That you studied until you bled
I know, I know, I know, I know Heavy is your head

You say they hurt you bad, they say they did their best
We both have a feeling they lied
A broken home repeated, he caught her, yeah she cheated
He moved away, we never knew why

Oh they say that they're sorry it's their fault
That our worlds got torn apart
It binds us

All the crimes and misdemeanors
That we could study until we’re dead
I know, I know, I know, I know Heavy is your head

We come from some porous hearts, broken souls right from start
They did the crimes without us in mind
Did you hear me when I say I see you?
Do you know our blood’s like glue?
It binds us

All the crimes and misdemeanors
Should we forgive them before we’re dead
I know, I know, I know, I know heavy is your head
