Hand Me Downs

Hand me downs
All the things I hate in you
I recently found
In me
I always promised myself
that I'd never be.

Caught your eye
Recognize the loneliness
that you try and hide
I know
Even though he's right there
you still feel alone

I remember
I still remember those days
I know
Wounds heal to scars
and smother the pain
Now you can't feel a thing

It's too hard to
See the worst parts of myself
reflected in you
I'd hoped that it would be something I
could one day outgrow

Down again
everything just bottles up
and when you pretend
I know
even though he's right there
you still feel alone

December
I still remember that day
So cold
Wounds healed to scars
You got so old
I hope I never get old

I always wanted to believe
That I'd be stronger than you were
Burying everything underneath
Hate the way
Hate the way you'll always be
Part of Me
