Lyrics

Blood and Water
[Verse 1]
I don't remember where we lost each other,
Or what created the silence overnight.
I've searched through every word and every memory,
Trying to find that something that wasn't right.
There are questions with no answers,
There are nights I cannot sleep,
'Cause losing someone who's still living
Is a different type of grief.
[Pre-Chorus]
I've picked up the phone a hundred times,
And put it down again,
'Cause reaching out and hearing nothing
Might hurt more than wondering when.
[Chorus]
They say that blood is thicker than water,
But water keeps running underneath that bridge.
And if we let enough years flow between us,
Even blood forgets how to forgive.
You're still here, but somehow I have lost you,
And that's the part my heart can't understand.
We can't change the hurt that came between us,
But maybe we could be family again.
[Verse 2]
I've had a thousand conversations
That never made it past my mind.
I've thought of all the things I'd tell you
If we could leave the hurt behind.
I'd tell you that I've missed you,
I'd tell you that I care,
And whatever passed between us
Couldn't stop me from being there.
[Refrain]
You're still here, but somehow I have lost you,
And that's the part my heart can't understand.
We can't change the hurt that came between us,
But maybe we could be family again.
[Verse 3]
Maybe you remember things much differently,
Maybe there's a hurt I've never known.
Maybe I've been searching for an answer
To a question only you could ever know.
I don't need to win an argument,
I don't care who's wrong or right,
Some things matter more than knowing
Who should say "I'm sorry" first tonight.
[Bridge]
We keep believing there's tomorrow,
Another chance, another day,
Another time to say "I love you,"
Another chance to find a way.
But sometimes tomorrow comes too late
To find that bridge again.
So while your heart and mine are beating,
Let's reach out while we can.
[Final Chorus]
They say that blood is thicker than water,
Don't let the water wash our love away.
So much time has passed us both,
That we shouldn't lose another day.
We are here with the love that holds us,
Giving us that chance to reach across this space.
We can't change the hurt that came between us,
But maybe we can find that special place.
[Outro]
I can't tear down your wall,
But I can lay my stones aside.
I'll leave the door between us open,
Because my love will never die.
No pretending nothing's changed,
Just a chance to start over again.
