Bloodstream Lyrics
Maybe I was too young to fully understand
So I never healed from it healthy, why I never trusted the man
You gotta love all that you have, and I'll take that to my grave
Soon you'll open up your eyes, and it'll all be gone one day
And I'm sitting here convincing you to pick up the phone and call
I am my father's daughter, but I'm nothing like him at all
And I hear him in the way I speak, or when I look in the mirror
The anger's growing in me, it shows, could it be any clearer?
That I'm like him 'cause he made me the way I am
When we're fighting, and all I need is somebody
And I'm crying on my mama's floor, why don't you want this anymore?
And I'm craving you to change for me
You're saying, "I hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for you
And I just cannot give you what you need"
Am I too much? Am I enough? 'Cause you said you wouldn't give up
Now I'm numb on my knees, praying to God you'd talk to me
Wondering what it takes for you to stay off my mind and far out of my bloodstream
You never laid your hands on me, and that's something that I'm grateful for
But I should've known that you'd gone mad when I saw the way you punched your doors
And I don't regret loving you, 'cause I know that you needed it
But the way you treated me made me feel like a little kid
And something deep inside of me tells me that you're not better now
And I'm sorry that I couldn't help, but I'm so glad I made it out
And I'm crying on my mama's floor, why don't you want this anymore?
And I'm craving you to change for me
You're saying, "I hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for you
And I just cannot give you what you need"
Am I too much? Am I enough? 'Cause you said you wouldn't give up
Now I'm numb on my knees, praying to God you'd talk to me
Wondering what it takes for you to stay off my mind and far out of my bloodstream
Meaning of Bloodstream
“Bloodstream” is a raw and heartbreaking exploration of generational trauma and the enduring impact of abuse. Alyssa Grace powerfully conveys the cyclical nature of pain, revealing how she’s inherited her father's anger and destructive patterns despite never experiencing physical harm herself. The song captures the intense yearning for acceptance and change from a parent who can only offer platitudes while simultaneously acknowledging the deep-seated damage inflicted. The repeated plea – “wondering what it takes for you to stay off my mind and far out of my bloodstream” – embodies the suffocating feeling of being perpetually haunted by a toxic relationship. Ultimately, Grace’s message is one of survival and gratitude, recognizing the painful inheritance while celebrating her escape, underscored by a profound sadness and lingering need for closure.
