Hand-Me-Downs

There is nothing i can say now

That would be what you wanna hear

I dont know how many times I've tried but now its coming clear

That the person that i thought i knew is drowning in this wake

When you told me in the summer about

how you were burned and hurting

I believed you and I told you

"Try a little bit of self-asserting"

And i really thought that something clicked and maybe you understood

But now I only see you fan the flames

Stop hanging around

If it brings you down

No one makes you wear those hand-me-downs

Are you hollow like a bottle

giving shape and sterile measure

Or maybe just reflecting, cold and empty like a mirror

I can't forgive the way you blind yourself to see the best

You drain the cup and turn out all the lights

Stop hanging around

If it brings you down

No one makes you wear those hand-me-downs

Tell me if I'm trying too hard

Tell me if I take it too far

(I think of you whenever I get high)

Tell me if I'm trying too hard

Tell me if I take it too far
