in my blood
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


She just wanted to be free
but she found that it was too hard to say no
no, no, no
She wanted love but not the ache
the burner set to low
low, low, low

Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me
Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me

She just wanted to be still
but she knew that there was no time to relax
at her age
She wanted love but not the ache
the broken glass and tears
tears of rage

Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me
Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me

She just wanted to be strong
but she spun her words in circles 'til the truth
was flat out wrong
She wanted love but not the ache
of finding her desire
dried up and gone

Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me
Maybe it's just in my blood
and my blood is falling
falling out of me
it's falling out of me
