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 were 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 Ah, it's a useless part of it all You know you can't win them all
