Hand Me Downs

Into the dark

Back through my mind

Think about it

Some of the time

Only some of the time

If

It's part of my bones

Given to me

Guess I'll take it and go

I'll take it and go

Only some of the time

Now I'm awake watching you breathing

I just lie until I'm feeling

Until I'm feeling

Tired of holding pieces

Not fair of me to repeat it

It's a useless part of it all

Useless part of it all

Remember that day

When we just kids

Playing around

Until we weren't

Until we weren't

And I would watch you

Close your eyes

And take a breath

To stay alright

Now I do the same

Creatures of habit, how we inherit

Good and the bad, the joy and the worry

It will grow back even if you try and

Cut it off

Time

Now you're awake watching me breathing

You just lie and say you're feeling fine

We're running out of time

It's all I'm needing

To try and stop the bleeding

It's a useless part of it all

You know you can't win them all
