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
