Hand Me Down Love (Apples and Oranges)

I always took what I could with you; some things I know were wrong.

All the times I mourned for you, but you weren’t even gone.

Something lacking, never found.

I hid away most of my heart.

I wore a mask, you weren’t around to see me torn apart.

I got hand-me-down shirts, pants, and shoes.

And I got hand-me-down love from you.

I hid away all my tears; you didn’t ask, I never told.

Was it assumed all would be forgotten when I was old?

Black sheep, fifth wheel, odd one out,

Yours are apples and oranges are mine.

All emotions concealed.  Raised to back down. 

My only comfort inside of my mind.

I got hand-me-down shirts, pants, and shoes.

And I got hand-me-down love from you.

Sometimes I think I’d like to take it all back,

But I’m a product of all of my woes.

Always remember it could have been worse,

Sometimes that’s just how it goes. 

I got hand-me-down shirts, pants, and shoes.

And I got hand-me-down love from you.
