Blood (Empty Promises) Lyrics by Papa Roach

Live and Murderous in Chicago

2004

[Chorus 1]
I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

[Verse 1]
You better watch out
If you don't know what's going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You better rise against
The demons that are going to try and hold you down

[Chorus 2]
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

[Verse 2]
Because I'm not a pawn for you to play in your fucking game
I've got dignity and a dream that I want to achieve
Under pressure, you crumbled, and you let me down
And I'm not deaf and all I hear are your empty promises

[Chorus 2]
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
The ones you love, the ones you love, the ones you love

[Bridge]
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love

[Chorus 1]
I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect

[Outro]
Yes, it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
Yes, it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love!
