Blood but not Family (Blues rock Cover)

**Verse 1** When older siblings don’t like you, it shows up sometimes Only saw my sister when mom wasn’t around Looking back, I don’t believe we had a bond She carried resentment, said I was the golden child all along **Pre-Chorus** Mom was my shield from the chaos and the fights Protected me from brothers drunk and high at night But after she was gone, the truth came crashing down No memories of laughter, just silence in the sound **Chorus** We are blood but we are not family You never cared, you never stood with me Call me the golden child, but all I see Is a selfish face staring back at me **Verse 2** Disneyland trips with strings attached Gratitude demanded, but my thanks never matched Blocked me online from mom’s account Six months later, I found out, shut the whole family out **Pre-Chorus** Chaperone rides, no joy in the day Just obligation dressed up in play I erased the ties, cut the circle clean No illusions left of what family means **Chorus** We are blood but we are not family You never cared, you never stood with me Call me the golden child, but all I see Is a selfish face staring back at me **Bridge** When I’m gone, you’ll fake the tears Put on a show for the world to hear But I know the truth, you won’t miss me You’re just like father, cold as can be **Final Chorus (bigger, layered)** We are blood but we are not family You never cared, you never stood with me Golden child, but the crown was heavy Now I’m free from the weight of your envy **Outro** Blood but not family… Blood but not family…
