Jelly Roll My Cross Lyrics

"My Cross"

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

'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

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

'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

Won't be yours to pass down

And when you make mistakes on your own

I hope that you know

You'll never go through it alone

'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

Won't be yours to pick up

Won't be yours to pick up
