Thicker Than Water

My mother broke my heart before I could ever fall in love
My father broke my heart before I ever knew what it was

I knew I was selfish
So damn undeserving
Crying for the first time
Since you saved my life

Our love is thicker than water
A holy moment aligned
I'll follow you to the altar
Swim in your river of wine

And if I'm drowning I will
Sink into the other side
I'll drink until I die
And if I never make it out alive

Come lay me down by the river
Where blood and water collide

Oh, I've been waiting all my life
For someone to teach me, how to pray
And if I die before I wake
Just know my heart is yours to take

I'd give you everything but I never learned to share
And I'm sorry I never learned to show how much I care

The truth is you're the shrine I use to wash away
All the things that taught me love was pain

Our love is thicker than water
A holy moment aligned
I'll follow you to the altar
Swim in your river of wine

And if I'm drowning I will
Sink into the other side
I'll drink until I die
And if I never make it out alive

Come lay me down by the river
Where blood and water collide

Here lies a boy
That I used to know
Blood of a lamb
May God rest your soul
On sacred land
I'll build us a home

Our love is thicker than water
A holy moment aligned
I'll follow you to the altar
Swim in your river of wine

And if I'm drawing I will
Sink into the other side
I'll drink until I die
And if I never make it out alive

Come lay me down by the river
Where blood and water collide
