8 Years Old

Just like that, I'm eight years old
I'm payin' your mistakes, still payin' for them
It takes me back, I'm all alone
With people talkin' 'round me, only talkin'
I'm in that house that's not a home
There is no escape, no running from it
I was so young when my mind grew cold

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls, they're never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

I see a sorry on your face
I never heard the words, though, never heard 'em
I hear regret in the way you pray
I don't know who's listening, I just don't

You're crying for your mistakes, crying from the blame
You're crying for the past you let get away
You're trying, I'm trying
But when it mattered, you didn't change

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls, they're never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

My memories on rewind
I'm learning how to be alright
I got my suitcase at the door
I'm going through, through
My failures on the desk
And my regret spilled on the floor
But I don't live here anymore
Yeah, I am through, through

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls, they're never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

Just like that, I'm eight years old
I'm payin' your mistakes, still payin' for 'em
