[Social Repose - Giving Away Things That Hurt Too Much To Keep lyrics]
Sometimes I look at these objects and I
Wish I could see what you see
I wish I could see just a piece of paper
A generic birthday card, a note, a painting
I wish I could see through the
Eyes of anyone else but mine
When I look at these things, I
See hurt, I see anger
I see a deep and mournful
Longing for the past, i see my mistakes
I see my scars embodied
In these mundane objects
I don't see what you see
I see a birthday card from
A loved one long past
A note of affection from a betrayed lover
A picture painted from a love but neglected
And tarnished by time and ego
I miss you, old friend
And I'm sorry I let you wither
And fade out of my life
When you needed me most
I want you to feel what
I feel through these things
Well, you might not understand and don't
Have the story or context
Just know that these things inflict
And evoke a pain i can feel deep down at
The bottom of my heart
I know you can't feel what I feel
But I want you to have them
So I don't have to
Be reminded of that hurt anymore
So I don't have to make that
Profound sadness dictate my future
And strangle me into submission to
The point where I refuse
To make new memories because
The old ones are taking up too much space
I want you to hold that pain in your hands
These were my things, but now they're yours
Wish I could see what you see
I wish I could see just a piece of paper
A generic birthday card, a note, a painting
I wish I could see through the
Eyes of anyone else but mine
When I look at these things, I
See hurt, I see anger
I see a deep and mournful
Longing for the past, i see my mistakes
I see my scars embodied
In these mundane objects
I don't see what you see
I see a birthday card from
A loved one long past
A note of affection from a betrayed lover
A picture painted from a love but neglected
And tarnished by time and ego
I miss you, old friend
And I'm sorry I let you wither
And fade out of my life
When you needed me most
I want you to feel what
I feel through these things
Well, you might not understand and don't
Have the story or context
Just know that these things inflict
And evoke a pain i can feel deep down at
The bottom of my heart
I know you can't feel what I feel
But I want you to have them
So I don't have to
Be reminded of that hurt anymore
So I don't have to make that
Profound sadness dictate my future
And strangle me into submission to
The point where I refuse
To make new memories because
The old ones are taking up too much space
I want you to hold that pain in your hands
These were my things, but now they're yours
