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
