Versions of You

Are you feeling weak?

Nobody ever taught you how to take a punch

You just took one in the guts

Are you gonna go and get yourself all balled up?

Are you staying in tonight?

Depressed to the nines (Hey)

And you're feeling like it's over and you've got it all summed up

How will we identify

With no one there by your side?

Now with so many of them out there

So many versions of you

Do they all get a piece of me

From the memories you let go?

I wish that you could hear me

I'm finished here without you now

You said that you were leaving

But never said how

Well, you made it and you got your wounds all dolled up

In the pity left in piles

But that was a while ago

Now it's mostly blown down the road (Hey)

Move along once we are all used up

And there's no one left to blame, but then you know

Most folks don't appreciate that anyway

Now with so many of them out there

So many versions of you

Do they all get a piece of me

From the memories you let go?

If you still need some motivation

Well, look I'm letting go too

And I'm so much lighter now

I'm no longer holding you

You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid

Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy

I couldn't tell you just how long it's been

I can only say how fully disappointed I am (Hey)

You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid (I dropped you a line, but you burned right through as you began to climb)

Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy

I couldn't tell you just how long it's been (I left you a note, saw it fade in the sun on the street with our hope)

I can only say how fully disappointed I am

Now with so many of them out there

So many versions of you

Do they all get a piece of me

From the memories you let go?

If you still need some motivation

Well, look I'm letting go too

And I'm so much lighter now

I'm no longer holding you
