Roots Lyrics
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
I thank you for the promises you broke
For always watching, watching while I choke
I thank you for teaching me
Yes, I thank you for your hurting
I bite down a little harder
My blades 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
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 blades 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..
I stay positive and I.. I push forward, ya see?
I.. I gotta do the right thing for my family!
So I smile and I say that the world is just fine, as these fucking 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 blades 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
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
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
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
My roots, my roots
I thank you for every word you said
I thank you for walking away
For always watching, watching while I choke
I thank you for teaching me
My blades a little sharper
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I scream a little louder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm strong because of you
Fuck you a little harder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Filled it with cement, sunk me in your sea
Thank you for being so obscene
Swimming in the mud, never coming clean
I thank you for nothing in between
My blades a little sharper
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I scream a little louder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm strong because of you
Fuck you a little harder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
There's some sick part of me thankful for the hate, I..
I stay positive and I.. I push forward, ya see?
I.. I gotta do the right thing for my family!
So I smile and I say that the world is just fine, as these fucking parasites eat up my spine,

My blades a little sharper

Run deep into the hollow
I scream a little louder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow

Fuck you a little harder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Run deep into the hollow
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
I'm strong because of you
Fuck you a little harder
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
My roots, my roots
Run deep into the hollow
Run deep into the hollow

Love song or hate song? Thoughts?
I thought this was about something in her past, or someone who HATED her maybe? Someone who was horrible to her it sounds like, and she has a lot of problems to thank them for. But because of those problems, she has to be strong, So now she is stronger thanks to everything horrible they've done.
@slender106 I know your comment is old, but I believe it was about Maria's father sexually abused her as a child then subsequently left her and her mom.

I believe this song is about how Maria's father sexually abused her as a child then abandoned her and her mom. He's her roots but she's thankful that his actions has made her stronger and he finally left.
"I thank you for the hole you dug in me Filled it with cement, sunk me in your sea" He scarred her.
"Thank you for being so obscene" The sexual abuse
"I thank you for never facing me Swimming in the mud, never coming clean I thank you for nothing in between" I don't think he ever fessed up to what he had done to her
"Yes, I thank you for leaving" She glad he left after the turmoil he caused her
