Jelly Roll My Cross
[Verse 1]
Your blood is my blood and poison runs deep
Knowing you're mine scares the hell outta me
'Cause hurt is a sickness and trauma is too
And I'd rather die than to pass it to you
[Chorus]
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Verse 2]
I hope to God you don't get my addictions
Don't deal with my demons or make my decisions
Yeah, I hope the apple falls far from the tree
And the sins of the father stop right here with me
[Chorus]
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Bridge]
Won't be yours to pass down
And whеn you make mistakes on your own
I hope that you know
You'll nеver go through it alone
[Chorus]
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bury, not yours to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Outro]
Won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
