I thank you for all the lives you've led
I thank you for every word you said
I thank you for walking away

I thank you for the promises you broke
For always watching while I choke
I thank you for teaching me
Yes I thank you for your hurting

I bite down a little harder
My blade's a little sharper
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Strike back a little harder
I scream a little louder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm stronger than I ever knew
I'm strong because of you
I hit back a little louder
Fuck you a little harder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow

I thank you for the hole you dug in me
Filled it with cement
sunk me in your sea
Thank you for being so obscene

I thank you for never facing me
Swimming in the mud, never coming clean
I thank you for nothing in between

Yes I thank you for leaving

I bite down a little harder
My blade's a little sharper
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Strike back a little harder
I scream a little louder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm stronger than I ever knew
I'm strong because of you
I hit back a little louder
Fuck you a little harder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow

You wanna know why I like the pain you say
There's some sick part of me thankful for the hate
I stay positive and I push forward ya see
I gotta do the right thing for my family
So I smile and say that the world is just fine
As these fuckin parasites eat up my spine
So I ask you once and I ask you again
Where do your roots start and where do your roots end

I bite down a little harder
My blade's a little sharper
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Strike back a little harder
I scream a little louder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm stronger than I ever knew
I'm strong because of you
I hit back a little louder
Fuck you a little harder
My roots my roots
Run deep into the hollow
