Citizen Soldier Hand Me Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt so lost within?
Like you don't even belong in your own skin
Like you're the broken puzzle piece
That doesn't fit in anywhere
'cause no one cares

[Chorus]
So many nights I lie awake
Wondering why nobody stays
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down
I open up, I get replaced
Like who I am is a mistake
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down
I've been running on this lonely road
But no matter where i go
I'm never home

[Verse 2]
Some days I'd rather be anyone but who I am
Just an afterthought that no one cares to understand
Wish I could see it in myself
Why I'm impossible to love
Why I'm not enough
[Chorus]
So many nights I lie awake
Wondering why nobody stays
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down I open up, I get replaced
Like who I am is a mistake
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down
I've been running on this lonely road
But no matter where i go

[Bridge]
Do I choose denial?
Embrace this downward spiral?
It gets so hard to face the truth
When your reality's a noose
What good's survival
When everything feels final?
There's nothing quite like this abuse
Of feeling like I have no use
Stuck in a life no one would choose

[Chorus]
So many nights I lie awake
Wondering why nobody stays
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down
I open up, I get replaced
Like who I am is a mistake
I'm just a hand me down
I'm just a hand me down
I've been running on this lonely road
But no matter where i go
I'm never home
