I don’t have your eyes
But the structure of your hair
And a ton of other things
That you passed on to me
The pain that you felt
I sense it in my neck
It’s pulling me in
But this pain isn’t mine
This memory’s just borrowed
While it’s heavy on my neck
I come to understand that she had
A lonesome goodbye
Not knowing the cause
It’s on me to replace
The things you’ve lost
But this pain isn’t mine
This memory’s just borrowed
I won’t pass it on
And I can’t give it back to you
You teach me well
To be the bigger person
So I follow the advice
You cannot give yourself
These stories ain’t mine
Though I can repeat the words
Crossed your heart all by yourself
And then you kept us from this hell
But this pain isn’t mine
This memory’s just borrowed
I won’t pass it on
And I won’t give it back to you
But this pain isn’t yours
Though the memories might haunt you
Give it back, give it back
Give it back to the ashes tonight
