[Intro]
I was only five when my father died
And I feel like a part of me with him lies
With a drink in his hand, he bid the world farewell
Such a waste of a life on just a little thrill

[Verse 1]
In my younger days, I never could find
A light to guide my way
Now I know I was only hiding in the shadow
Of his vast mistakes

[Chorus]
The blood that filled his veins flows through mine
It's not that I'm ashamed, but how can I redefine
How your story ends, how your story ends

[Verse 2]
I always thought that you'd be there through the ups and downs
But then you were gone
I never found a place to go where I'd belong, but it's alright
Since it made me strong

[Chorus]
The blood that filled his veins flows through mine
I'll take all the pain and turn it into something divine
