This wicked city just drags you down You're with the red lights, your side of town Don't say it's easy to follow a process There's nothing harder than keeping a promise Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends Blood runs through our veins Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends Blood runs through our veins There's nothing believable in being honest So cover your lies up with another promise Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends Blood runs through our veins Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends Blood runs through our veins Oh Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends Blood runs through our veins If there's hope in your heart Did I see it from the start If there's hope in your heart
