► Lyrics:
I grew up scared of my father his words were known to draw blood
I know that nobody’s perfect (I’m not perfect)
I never questioned his love when he cursed the television
And that god damn rainbow parade
I wrapped my wounds in religion that night
I learned how to pray
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree
If there’s one in the city you’re willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me let it be me
Let it be me
I’m learning to love progress get more faith with every inch
You’re making peace with thought of growing out of more than your skin
And what was once out of the question now gets met a quarter way it might not be a rainbow
But at least it’s more than grey
If you poisoned the apple
Why plant the tree
If there’s one in the city you’re willing to keep
Let it be me let it be me let it beme
Let it be me
Let it be me that you treat like a daughter
Let it be me when you give me away
Let it be you who is proud of me sort of
Cuz blood is blood at the end of the day
